net: bcmgenet: Add mdio-bcm-unimac soft dependency
The Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus from mdio-bcm-unimac module comes too late. So, GENET cannot find the ethernet PHY on UniMAC MDIO bus. This leads GENET fail to attach the PHY as following log: bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet: GENET 5.0 EPHY: 0x0000 ... could not attach to PHY bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet eth0: failed to connect to PHY uart-pl011 fe201000.serial: no DMA platform data libphy: bcmgenet MII bus: probed ... unimac-mdio unimac-mdio.-19: Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus It is not just coming too late, there is also no way for the module loader to figure out the dependency between GENET and its MDIO bus driver unless we provide this MODULE_SOFTDEP hint. This patch adds the soft dependency to load mdio-bcm-unimac module before genet module to fix this issue.
