[RFC PATCH 2/3] net: phy: call mdiobus_scan() after adding a fixed PHY

[Thomas Petazzoni]

The fixed_phy_add() function allows to register a fixed PHY. However,
when this function gets called *after* fixed_mdio_bus_init() (which
gets called at the module_init stage), then the fixed PHY is not
registered into the phylib.

In order to address this, we add a call to mdiobus_scan() in
fixed_phy_add() to ensure that the PHY indeed gets registered into the
phylib, even if the fixed_phy_add() is called after
fixed_mdio_bus_init().

This is needed because until now, the only code that was calling the
fixed_add_phy() function was PowerPC-specific platform code, which
could ensure that such fixed PHYs get registered before
fixed_mdio_bus_init() is called.

However, with the new of_phy_register_fixed_link() function, device
drivers can parse their 'fixed-link' property and register a fixed PHY
at ->probe() time, which may happen after fixed_mdio_bus_init() is
called.
