[ Upstream commit 6d9f66ac7fec2a6ccd649e5909806dfe36f1fc25 ]

The Generic PHY drivers gets assigned after we checked that the current
PHY driver is NULL, so we need to check a few things before we can
safely dereference d-&gt;driver. This would be causing a NULL deference to
occur when a system binds to the Generic PHY driver. Update
phy_attach_direct() to do the following:

- grab the driver module reference after we have assigned the Generic
  PHY drivers accordingly, and remember we came from the generic PHY
  path

- update the error path to clean up the module reference in case the
  Generic PHY probe function fails

- split the error path involving phy_detacht() to avoid double free/put
  since phy_detach() does all the clean up

- finally, have phy_detach() drop the module reference count before we
  call device_release_driver() for the Generic PHY driver case

[ Upstream commit cafe8df8b9bc9aa3dffa827c1a6757c6cd36f657 ]

There is currently no reference count being held on the PHY driver,
which makes it possible to remove the PHY driver module while the PHY
state machine is running and polling the PHY. This could cause crashes
similar to this one to show up:

utilize it in phy_attach_direct(), and conversely when we don't use it
anymore in phy_detach().

<title>phy: Don't increment MDIO bus refcount unless it's a different owner</title>

Commit 3e3aaf649416 ("phy: fix mdiobus module safety") fixed the way we
dealt with MDIO bus module reference count, but sort of introduced a
regression in that, if an Ethernet driver registers its own MDIO bus
driver, as is common, we will end up with the Ethernet driver's
module-&gt;refnct set to 1, thus preventing this driver from any removal.

Fix this by comparing the network device's device driver owner against
the MDIO bus driver owner, and only if they are different, increment the
MDIO bus module refcount.

Make sure to drop the reference taken by bus_find_device_by_name()
before returning from phy_connect() and phy_attach().

Note that both function still take a reference to the phy device
through phy_attach_direct().

Arnd Bergmann asked that get_phy_device() returns either NULL or the error
value,  not both on error.  Do as he said, return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead
of NULL when the PHY ID registers read as  all ones.

When tested the PHY SGMII Loopback:
1.set the LOOPBACK bit,
2.set the autoneg to AUTONEG_DISABLE, it calls the
genphy_setup_forced which will clear the bit.

The BMCR_LOOPBACK bit should be preserved.

As Florian pointed out that other bits should be preserved too.
So I make the BMCR_ISOLATE and BMCR_PDOWN as well.

genphy_config_init() masked out pause flags set in phy driver structure.
Pause flags needs to be preserved in phydev-&gt;supported &amp;
phydev-&gt;advertising.

The operstate of a networking device initially IF_OPER_UNKNOWN aka
"unknown", updated on carrier state changes (with carrier state being on
by default). This means it will stay unknown unless the carrier state
goes to off at some point, which is not the case if the phy is already
up/connected at startup.

Explicitly turn off the carrier on phy attach, leaving the phy state
machine to turn the carrier on when it has done the initial negotiation.
