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