net: dsa: microchip: fix race condition
Between queuing the delayed work and finishing the setup of the dsa ports, the process may sleep in request_module() (via phy_device_create()) and the queued work may be executed prior to the switch net devices being registered. In ksz_mib_read_work(), a NULL dereference will happen within netof_carrier_ok(dp->slave). Not queuing the delayed work in ksz_init_mib_timer() makes things even worse because the work will now be queued for immediate execution (instead of 2000 ms) in ksz_mac_link_down() via dsa_port_link_register_of().

Do not queue (only initialize) delayed work in ksz_init_mib_timer(). 2. Only queue delayed work in ksz_mac_link_down() if init is completed. 3. Queue work once in ksz_switch_register(), after dsa_register_switch() has completed.
