> The firmware on many Cavium Thunder systems configures the MDIO bus
> hardware to be probed as a PCI device.  In order to use the MDIO bus
> drivers in this configuration, we must add PCI probing to the driver.
> 
> There are two parts to this set of three patches:
> 
>  1) Cleanup the PHY probing code in thunder_bgx.c to handle the case
>     where there is no PHY attached to a port, as well as being more
>     robust in the face of driver loading order by use of
>     -EPROBE_DEFER.
> 
>  2) Split mdio-octeon.c into two drivers, one with platform probing,
>  and the other with PCI probing.  Common code is shared between the
>  two.
> 
> Tested on several different Thunder and OCTEON systems, also compile
> tested on x86_64.

Series applied, thanks David.
