Revision 38b4fe320119859c11b1dc06f6b4987a16344fa1 authored by Andrew Lunn on 17 October 2019, 19:29:26 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 18 October 2019, 17:22:04 UTC
As soon as the netdev is registers, the kernel can start using the
interface. If the driver connects the MAC to the PHY after the netdev
is registered, there is a race condition where the interface can be
opened without having the PHY connected.

Change the order to close this race condition.
