    net: dsa: qca8k: assign ds->user_mii_bus only for the non-OF case · 525366b8

    To simplify reasoning about why the DSA framework provides the
    ds->user_mii_bus functionality, drivers should only use it if they
    need to. The qca8k driver appears to also use it simply as storage
    for a pointer, which is not a good enough reason to make the core
    much more difficult to follow.
    
    ds->user_mii_bus is useful for only 2 cases:
    
    1. The driver probes on platform_data (no OF)
    2. The driver probes on OF, but there is no OF node for the MDIO bus.
    
    It is unclear if case (1) is supported with qca8k. It might not be:
    the driver might crash when of_device_get_match_data() returns NULL
    and then it dereferences priv->info without NULL checking.
    
    Anyway, let us limit the ds->user_mii_bus usage only to the above cases,
    and not assign it when an OF node is present.
    
    The bus->phy_mask assignment follows along with the movement, because
    __of_mdiobus_register() overwrites this bus field anyway. The value set
    by the driver only matters for the non-OF code path.
