[PATCH net v2 0/3] net: phy: some cleanups following phy_port SFP

[Maxime Chevallier]

While posting the v11 of phy_port netlink, sashiko found some
pre-existing issues, and following the tentative fix [1], Nicolai found
some more :)

Patch 1 and 2 add some cleanup in the phy_probe error paths, to discard
all SFP and phy_port that have been set-up when probing fails further
down the road.

Patch 3 fixes a sashiko-reported issue that I was able to reproduce,
where we hit a deadlock when trying to setup PHY-driven SFP ports while
using genphy. This is because the sfp init logic for PHYs is now
generic, instead of per-driver, and genphy has the particularity of
running its .probe() under RTNL, which clashes with the SFP code.

One more reason to try and cleanup RTNL handling in PHY/SFP :)

Thanks Nicolai for the feedback on V1,

Maxime
