[PATCH 2/2] mv643xx_eth: defer probing if Marvell Orion MDIO driver not loaded

[Simon Baatz]

When both the Marvell MV643XX ethernet driver and the Orion MDIO driver
are compiled as modules, the ethernet driver may be probed before the
MDIO driver.  Let mv643xx_eth_probe() return EPROBE_DEFER in this case,
i.e. when it cannot find the PHY.
