[ Upstream commit e40e2a2e78664fa90ea4b9bdf4a84efce2fea9d9 ]
The current code in __mdiobus_register() doesn't properly handle failures returned by the devm_gpiod_get_optional() call: it returns immediately, without unregistering the device that was added by the call to device_register() earlier in the function.
This leaves a stale device, which then causes a NULL pointer dereference in the code that handles deferred probing:

The actual error that we had from devm_gpiod_get_optional() was -EPROBE_DEFER, due to the GPIO being provided by a driver that is probed later than the Ethernet controller driver.
To fix this, we simply add the missing device_del() invocation in the error path.
