[ Upstream commit a81649a4efd382497bf3d34a623360263adc6993 ]

When the parent clock is a gated clock which has multiple parents, the
clock provider (clk-scmi typically) might return a rate of 0 since there
is not one of those particular parent clocks that should be chosen for
returning a rate. Prior to ee975351cf0c ("net: mdio: mdio-bcm-unimac:
Manage clock around I/O accesses"), we would not always be passing a
clock reference depending upon how mdio-bcm-unimac was instantiated. In
that case, we would take the fallback path where the rate is hard coded
to 250MHz.

Make sure that we still fallback to using a fixed rate for the divider
calculation, otherwise we simply ignore the desired MDIO bus clock
frequency which can prevent us from interfacing with Ethernet PHYs
properly.

All callers pass PHY_POLL, therefore remove irq argument from
fixed_phy_register().

Note: I keep the irq argument in fixed_phy_add_gpiod() for now,
for the case that somebody may want to use a GPIO interrupt in
the future, by e.g. adding a call to fwnode_irq_get() to
fixed_phy_get_gpiod().

After having factored out the provider part from mdio_bus.c, we can
make the mdio consumer / device layer a separate module. This also
allows to remove Kconfig symbol MDIO_DEVICE.
The module init / exit functions from mdio_bus.c no longer have to be
called from phy_device.c. The link order defined in
drivers/net/phy/Makefile ensures that init / exit functions are called
in the right order.

MDIO_DEVRES is only set where PHYLIB/PHYLINK are set which
select MDIO_DEVRES. So we can remove this symbol.

Note: Due to circular module dependencies we can't simply
      make mdio_devres.c part of phylib.

After 52358dd63e34 ("net: phy: remove function stubs") there's a
problem if CONFIG_MDIO_BUS is set, but CONFIG_PHYLIB is not.
mdiobus_scan() uses phylib functions like get_phy_device().
Bringing back the stub wouldn't make much sense, because it would
allow to compile mdiobus_scan(), but the function would be unusable.
The stub returned NULL, and we have the following in mdiobus_scan():

phydev = get_phy_device(bus, addr, c45);
        if (IS_ERR(phydev))
                return phydev;

So calling mdiobus_scan() w/o CONFIG_PHYLIB would cause a crash later in
mdiobus_scan(). In general the PHYLIB functionality isn't optional here.
Consequently, MDIO bus providers depend on PHYLIB.
Therefore factor it out and build it together with the libphy core
modules. In addition make all MDIO bus providers under /drivers/net/mdio
depend on PHYLIB. Same applies to enetc MDIO bus provider. Note that
PHYLIB selects MDIO_DEVRES, therefore we can omit this here.

This bit is necessary to receive packets from the internal PHY.
Without this bit set, no activity occurs on the interface.

Normally u-boot sets this bit, but if u-boot is compiled without
net support, the interface will be up but without any activity.
If bit is set once, it will work until the IP is powered down or reset.

The vendor SDK sets this bit along with the PHY_ID bits.

The currently used function pci_request_regions() is one of the
problematic "hybrid devres" PCI functions, which are sometimes managed
through devres, and sometimes not (depending on whether
pci_enable_device() or pcim_enable_device() has been called before).

The PCI subsystem wants to remove this behavior and, therefore, needs to
port all users to functions that don't have this problem.

Furthermore, the PCI function being managed implies that it's not
necessary to call pci_release_regions() manually.

Remove the calls to pci_release_regions().

Replace pci_request_regions() with pcim_request_all_regions().

The newly added rtl9300 driver needs MDIO_DEVRES:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/net/mdio/mdio-realtek-rtl9300.o: in function `rtl9300_mdiobus_probe':
mdio-realtek-rtl9300.c:(.text+0x941): undefined reference to `devm_mdiobus_alloc_size'
x86_64-linux-ld: mdio-realtek-rtl9300.c:(.text+0x9e2): undefined reference to `__devm_mdiobus_register'
Since this is a hidden symbol, it needs to be selected by each user,
rather than the usual 'depends on'. I see that there are a few other
drivers that accidentally use 'depends on', so fix these as well for
consistency and to avoid dependency loops.
