[PATCH v3] net: bcmgenet: Add mdio-bcm-unimac soft dependency

[Jian-Hong Pan]

The Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus from mdio-bcm-unimac module comes too late.
So, GENET cannot find the ethernet PHY on UniMAC MDIO bus. This leads
GENET fail to attach the PHY as following log:

bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet: GENET 5.0 EPHY: 0x0000
...
could not attach to PHY
bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet eth0: failed to connect to PHY
uart-pl011 fe201000.serial: no DMA platform data
libphy: bcmgenet MII bus: probed
...
unimac-mdio unimac-mdio.-19: Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus

It is not just coming too late, there is also no way for the module
loader to figure out the dependency between GENET and its MDIO bus
driver unless we provide this MODULE_SOFTDEP hint.

This patch adds the soft dependency to load mdio-bcm-unimac module
before genet module to fix this issue.

v3: Modified the subject and added some more description in the commit
    message by Florian's suggestion.

v2: Load mdio-bcm-unimac before genet module instead of trying to
    connect the PHY in a loop.
