The current sequence makes us register for a network device prior to
registering and probing the MDIO bus which could lead to some unwanted
consequences, like a thread of execution calling into ndo_open before
register_netdev() returns, while the MDIO bus is not ready yet.

Rework the sequence to register for the MDIO bus, and therefore attach
to a PHY prior to calling register_netdev(), which implies reworking the
error path a bit.

Tracking down the exact commit which started doing that was a little
difficult, so I can't really provide a proper Fixes tag yet that does
not reference 4-5 commits
