Don't you also want to fix the probe path?

stmmac_dvr_probe:
	ret = register_netdev(ndev);
	if (ret) {
		dev_err(priv->device, "%s: ERROR %i registering the device\n",
			__func__, ret);
		goto error_netdev_register;
	}

	if (priv->plat->serdes_powerup) {
		ret = priv->plat->serdes_powerup(ndev,
						 priv->plat->bsp_priv);

		if (ret < 0)
			goto error_serdes_powerup;
	}

Since the device can start being used immediately after registration, it
depends upon the SERDES clock being powered up.
