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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
