If kernel module stmmac driver being loaded after OS booted, there is a
race condition between stmmac_open() and stmmac_mdio_register(), which is
invoked inside stmmac_dvr_probe(), and the error is showed in dmesg log as
PHY not found and stmmac_open() failed:

The resolution moved the register_netdev() function call to the end of
stmmac_dvr_probe() after stmmac_mdio_register().
