[ Upstream commitmastere804441cfe
] We cannot be registering the network device first, then setting its carrier off and finally connecting it to a PHY, doing that leaves a window during which the carrier is at best inconsistent, and at worse the device is not usable without a down/up sequence since the network device is visible to user space with possibly no PHY device attached. Re-order steps so that they make logical sense. This fixes some devices where the port was not usable after e.g: an unbind then bind of the driver. Fixes:0071f56e46
