    net: bcmgenet: disable clock before register_netdev · 0f50ce96

    As soon as register_netdev() is called, the network device notifiers are
    running which means that other parts of the kernel, or user-space
    programs can call the network device ndo_open() callback and use the
    interface.
    
    Disable the Ethernet device clock before we register the network device
    such that we do not create the following situation:
    
    CPU0				CPU1
    register_netdev()
    				bcmgenet_open()
    				clk_prepare_enable()
    clk_disable_unprepare()
    
    and leave the hardware block gated off, while we think it should be
    gated on.
