[PATCH] net: dsa: lan9303: imply SMSC_PHY

[A. Sverdlin]

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@siemens.com>

Both LAN9303 and LAN9354 have internal PHYs on both external ports.
Therefore a configuration without SMSC PHY support is non-practical at
least and leads to:

LAN9303_MDIO 8000f00.mdio:00: Found LAN9303 rev. 1
mdio_bus 8000f00.mdio:00: deferred probe pending: (reason unknown)

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your patch.

As an enhancement - as opposed to a fix - this patch should be
targeted at the net-next kernel. And it's best to explicitly note that
in the subject.

	Subject: [PATCH net-next] ...

As it happens, net-next is currently closed for the v6.10 merge window.
Please consider reposting as a PATCH once net-next re-opens, after 27th May.

In the meantime, feel free to post new versions as you get feedback,
but please switch to posting as RFC during that time.
