[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: handle -EPROBE_DEFER

From: Michael Walle
Date: Fri Apr 11 2025 - 08:10:55 EST


of_get_mac_address() might fetch the MAC address from NVMEM and that
driver might not have been loaded. In that case, -EPROBE_DEFER is
returned. Right now, this will trigger an immediate fallback to
am65_cpsw_am654_get_efuse_macid() possibly resulting in a random MAC
address although the MAC address is stored in the referenced NVMEM.

Fix it by handling the -EPROBE_DEFER return code correctly. This also
means that the creation of the MDIO device has to be moved to a later
stage as -EPROBE_DEFER must not be returned after child devices are
created.
