[ Upstream commit a4db9055fdb9cf607775c66d39796caf6439ec92 ]

As reported by Zhang there's a small issue if in forced mode the duplex
mode changes with the link staying up [0]. In this case the MAC isn't
notified about the change.

The proposed patch relies on the phylib state machine and ignores the
fact that there are drivers that uses phylib but not the phylib state
machine. So let's don't change the behavior for such drivers and fix
it w/o re-adding state PHY_FORCING for the case that phylib state
machine is used.

<title>net: phylink: avoid mvneta warning when setting pause parameters</title>

[ Upstream commit fd8d9731bcdfb22d28e45bce789bcb211c868c78 ]

mvneta does not support asymetric pause modes, and it flags this by the
lack of AsymPause in the supported field. When setting pause modes, we
check that pause-&gt;rx_pause == pause-&gt;tx_pause, but only when pause
autoneg is enabled. When pause autoneg is disabled, we still allow
pause-&gt;rx_pause != pause-&gt;tx_pause, which is incorrect when the MAC
does not support asymetric pause, and causes mvneta to issue a warning.

Fix this by removing the test for pause-&gt;autoneg, so we always check
that pause-&gt;rx_pause == pause-&gt;tx_pause for network devices that do not
support AsymPause.

[ Upstream commit 2641b62d2fab52648e34cdc6994b2eacde2d27c1 ]

Some Micrel KSZ8041NL PHY chips exhibit continuous RX errors after using
the power down mode bit (0.11). If the PHY is taken out of power down
mode in a certain temperature range, the PHY enters a weird state which
leads to continuously reporting RX errors. In that state, the MAC is not
able to receive or send any Ethernet frames and the activity LED is
constantly blinking. Since Linux is using the suspend callback when the
interface is taken down, ending up in that state can easily happen
during a normal startup.

Micrel confirmed the issue in errata DS80000700A [*], caused by abnormal
clock recovery when using power down mode. Even the latest revision (A4,
Revision ID 0x1513) seems to suffer that problem, and according to the
errata is not going to be fixed.

Remove the suspend/resume callback to avoid using the power down mode
completely.

[ Upstream commit cbcca2e3961eac736566ac13ef0d0bf6f0b764ec ]

Dan Carpenter points out that we have a code path that permits a NULL
netdev pointer to be passed to netif_carrier_off(), which will cause
a kernel oops. In any case, we need to set pl-&gt;old_link_state to false
to have the desired effect when there is no netdev present.

[ Upstream commit 67ca5159dbe2edb5dae7544447b8677d2596933a ]

It seems reasonable to fine-tune only some of the skew values when using
one of the rgmii-*id PHY modes, and even when all skew values are
specified, using the correct ID PHY mode makes sense for documentation
purposes. Such a configuration also appears in the binding docs in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/micrel-ksz90x1.txt, so the driver
should not warn about it.

commit af1a02aa23c37045e6adfcf074cf7dbac167a403 upstream.

There is a race condition where the PHY state machine can change
members of the phydev structure at the same time userspace requests a
change via ethtool. To prevent this, have phy_ethtool_ksettings_set
take the PHY lock.

commit 10eff1f5788b6ffac212c254e2f3666219576889 upstream.

This reverts commit ab609f25d19858513919369ff3d9a63c02cd9e2e.

This patch is correct in the sense that we _should_ call device_put() in
case of device_register() failure, but the problem in this code is more
vast.

We need to set bus-&gt;state to UNMDIOBUS_REGISTERED before calling
device_register() to correctly release the device in mdiobus_free().
This patch prevents us from doing it, since in case of device_register()
failure put_device() will be called 2 times and it will cause UAF or
something else.

Also, Reported-by: tag in revered commit was wrong, since syzbot
reported different leak in same function.
