Commit bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support") added call
to phy_device_reset(phydev) after the put_device() call in phy_detach().

The comment before the put_device() call says that the phydev might go
away with put_device().

Fix potential use-after-free by calling phy_device_reset() before
put_device().

In case a PHY device was probed thus in the PHY_READY state, but not
configured and with no network device attached yet, we should not be
trying to shut it down because it has been brought back into reset by
phy_device_reset() towards the end of phy_probe() and anyway we have not
configured the PHY yet.

<title>Revert "net: phy: Uniform PHY driver access"</title>

<id>301de697d869be6564aebeb5ab811c84c0a7abed</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 3ac8eed62596387214869319379c1fcba264d8c6, which did
more than it said on the box, and not only it replaced to_phy_driver
with phydev-&gt;drv, but it also removed the "!drv" check, without actually
explaining why that is fine.

That patch in fact breaks suspend/resume on any system which has PHY
devices with no drivers bound.

The stack trace is:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000e8
pc : mdio_bus_phy_suspend+0xd8/0xec
lr : dpm_run_callback+0x38/0x90
Call trace:
 mdio_bus_phy_suspend+0xd8/0xec
 dpm_run_callback+0x38/0x90
 __device_suspend+0x108/0x3cc
 dpm_suspend+0x140/0x210
 dpm_suspend_start+0x7c/0xa0
 suspend_devices_and_enter+0x13c/0x540
 pm_suspend+0x2a4/0x330

Examples why that assumption is not fine:

- There is an MDIO bus with a PHY device that doesn't have a specific
  PHY driver loaded, because mdiobus_register() automatically creates a
  PHY device for it but there is no specific PHY driver in the system.
  Normally under those circumstances, the generic PHY driver will be
  bound lazily to it (at phy_attach_direct time). But some Ethernet
  drivers attach to their PHY at .ndo_open time. Until then it, the
  to-be-driven-by-genphy PHY device will not have a driver. The blamed
  patch amounts to saying "you need to open all net devices before the
  system can suspend, to avoid the NULL pointer dereference".

- There is any raw MDIO device which has 'plausible' values in the PHY
  ID registers 2 and 3, which is located on an MDIO bus whose driver
  does not set bus-&gt;phy_mask = ~0 (which prevents auto-scanning of PHY
  devices). An example could be a MAC's internal MDIO bus with PCS
  devices on it, for serial links such as SGMII. PHY devices will get
  created for those PCSes too, due to that MDIO bus auto-scanning, and
  although those PHY devices are not used, they do not bother anybody
  either. PCS devices are usually managed in Linux as raw MDIO devices.
  Nonetheless, they do not have a PHY driver, nor does anybody attempt
  to connect to them (because they are not a PHY), and therefore this
  patch breaks that.

The goal itself of the patch is questionable, so I am going for a
straight revert. to_phy_driver does not seem to have a need to be
replaced by phydev-&gt;drv, in fact that might even trigger code paths
which were not given too deep of a thought.

For instance:

phy_probe populates phydev-&gt;drv at the beginning, but does not clean it
up on any error (including EPROBE_DEFER). So if the phydev driver
requests probe deferral, phydev-&gt;drv will remain populated despite there
being no driver bound.

If a system suspend starts in between the initial probe deferral request
and the subsequent probe retry, we will be calling the phydev-&gt;drv-&gt;suspend
method, but _before_ any phydev-&gt;drv-&gt;probe call has succeeded.

That is to say, if the phydev-&gt;drv is allocating any driver-private data
structure in -&gt;probe, it pretty much expects that data structure to be
available in -&gt;suspend. But it may not. That is a pretty insane
environment to present to PHY drivers.

In the code structure before the blamed patch, mdio_bus_phy_may_suspend
would just say "no, don't suspend" to any PHY device which does not have
a driver pointer _in_the_device_structure_ (not the phydev-&gt;drv). That
would essentially ensure that -&gt;suspend will never get called for a
device that has not yet successfully completed probe. This is the code
structure the patch is returning to, via the revert.
