[ Upstream commit b2ac9800cfe0f8da16abc4e74e003440361c112e ]

The Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus from mdio-bcm-unimac module comes too late.
So, GENET cannot find the ethernet PHY on UniMAC MDIO bus. This leads
GENET fail to attach the PHY as following log:

bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet: GENET 5.0 EPHY: 0x0000
...
could not attach to PHY
bcmgenet fd580000.ethernet eth0: failed to connect to PHY
uart-pl011 fe201000.serial: no DMA platform data
libphy: bcmgenet MII bus: probed
...
unimac-mdio unimac-mdio.-19: Broadcom UniMAC MDIO bus

This patch adds the soft dependency to load mdio-bcm-unimac module
before genet module to avoid the issue.
