Commit c938ab4da0eb ("net: phy: Manual remove LEDs to ensure correct
ordering") correctly fixed a problem with using devm_ but missed
removing the LED entry from the LEDs list.

This cause kernel panic on specific scenario where the port for the PHY
is torn down and up and the kmod for the PHY is removed.

On setting the port down the first time, the assosiacted LEDs are
correctly unregistered. The associated kmod for the PHY is now removed.
The kmod is now added again and the port is now put up, the associated LED
are registered again.
On putting the port down again for the second time after these step, the
LED list now have 4 elements. With the first 2 already unregistered
previously and the 2 new one registered again.

This cause a kernel panic as the first 2 element should have been
removed.

Fix this by correctly removing the element when LED is unregistered.

There are a few PHY drivers that can handle SFP modules through their
sfp_upstream_ops. Introduce Phylib helpers to keep track of connected
SFP PHYs in a netdevice's namespace, by adding the SFP PHY to the
upstream PHY's netdev's namespace.

By doing so, these SFP PHYs can be enumerated and exposed to users,
which will be able to use their capabilities.

Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same
net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use
with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can
be used.

With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for
operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc.

The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming
from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev-&gt;phydev, which
in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC.

Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that
belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more
precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration.

The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list.
The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with
identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached.

This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP
transceiver removal/insertion.

The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering
depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to. The PHY index can be
re-used for PHYs that are persistent.

<title>net: phylib: do not disable autoneg for fixed speeds &gt;= 1G</title>

<content type='text'>
We have an increasing number of drivers that are forcing
auto-negotiation to be enabled for speeds of 1G or faster.

It would appear that auto-negotiation is mandatory for speeds above
100M. In 802.3, Annex 40C's state diagrams seems to imply that
mr_autoneg_enable (BMCR AN ENABLE) doesn't affect whether or not the
AN state machines work for 1000base-T, and some PHY datasheets (e.g.
Marvell Alaska) state that disabling mr_autoneg_enable leaves AN
enabled but forced to 1G full duplex.

Other PHY datasheets imply that BMCR AN ENABLE should not be cleared
for &gt;= 1G.

Thus, this should be handled in phylib rather than in each driver.

Rather than erroring out, arrange to implement the Marvell Alaska
solution but in software for all PHYs: generate an appropriate
single-speed advertisement for the requested speed, and keep AN
enabled to the PHY driver. However, to avoid userspace API breakage,
continue to report to userspace that we have AN disabled.

If the PHY of the mido bus is enabled with Wake-on-LAN (WOL),
we cannot suspend the PHY. Although the WOL status has been
checked in phy_suspend(), returning -EBUSY(-16) would cause
the Power Management (PM) to fail to suspend. Since
phy_suspend() is an exported symbol (EXPORT_SYMBOL),
timely error reporting is needed. Therefore, an additional
check is performed here. If the PHY of the mido bus is enabled
with WOL, we skip calling phy_suspend() to avoid PM failure.

From the following logs, it has been observed that the phydev-&gt;attached_dev
is NULL, phydev is "stmmac-0:01", it not attached, but it will affect suspend
and resume.The actually attached "stmmac-0:00" will not dpm_run_callback():
mdio_bus_phy_suspend().

 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

<title>driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *</title>

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.
