[RFC PATCH net-next 3/3] net: dsa: allow the phy_connect() call to return -EPROBE_DEFER

[Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>]

Currently DSA ignores any errors coming from dsa_port_setup(), and this
includes:

dsa_port_setup
-> dsa_slave_create
   -> dsa_slave_phy_setup
      -> phylink_of_phy_connect
         -> ...
            -> phy_attach_direct

This is done such that PHYs present on optional riser cards which are
missing do not cause the entire switch probing to fail.

Now that phy_attach_direct tries harder to probe the specific PHY driver
instead of genphy, it can actually return -EPROBE_DEFER. It makes sense
to treat this error separately, and not just give up. Trigger the normal
error path, unwind the setup done so far, and come back later.
