This patch series was started due to -EPROBE_DEFER not being handled
correctly in mdio_mux_init() and causing issues [1]. While at it, I also
did some more error handling fixes and clean ups. The -EPROBE_DEFER fix is
the last patch.

Ideally, in the last patch we'd treat any error similar to -EPROBE_DEFER
but I'm not sure if it'll break any board/platforms where some child
mdiobus never successfully registers. If we treated all errors similar to
-EPROBE_DEFER, then none of the child mdiobus will work and that might be a
regression. If people are sure this is not a real case, then I can fix up
the last patch to always fail the entire mdio-mux init if any of the child
mdiobus registration fails.
