The bump to 4.14 changed the way mdio probes behind switches.
While the board_info is added to the list, the code that actually inserted
the list info into the phydev structure was missing.
This resulted in non-working ethernet ports.
Re-add it to fix switch probing.
This mimics the exact behaviour as it was in kernel 4.9.
