commit 69fc58a57e56bf5e39b48809aefffdaa1b04c945 upstream.

If we have a system which uses fixed PHY devices and calls
fixed_phy_register() then fixed_phy_unregister() we can exhaust the
number of fixed PHYs available after a while, since we keep incrementing
the variable phy_fixed_addr, but we never decrement it.

This patch fixes that by converting the fixed PHY allocation to using
IDA, which takes care of the allocation/dealloaction of the PHY
addresses for us.

commit 81e8f2e930fe76b9814c71b9d87c30760b5eb705 upstream.

PHY status frames are not reliable, the PHY may not be able to send them
during heavy receive traffic. This overflow condition is signaled by the
PHY in the next status frame, but the driver did not make use of it.
Instead it always reported wrong tx timestamps to user space after an
overflow happened because it assigned newly received tx timestamps to old
packets in the queue.

This commit fixes this issue by clearing the tx timestamp queue every time
an overflow happens, so that no timestamps are delivered for overflow
packets. This way time stamping will continue correctly after an overflow.

commit 50d899808d33a5b0aa82be23e824119944042689 upstream.

The clear and set masks in the call to phy_set_clr_bits() called from
bcm7xxx_config_init() are inverted. We need to fix this by swapping the two
arguments, that is, set 0 bits, but clear the shade mode 2 enable bit.

commit d5c3d84657db57bd23ecd58b97f1c99dd42a7b80 upstream.

Commit 2c7b49212a86 ("phy: fix the use of PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT") changed
a hunk in phy_state_machine() in the PHY_RUNNING case which was not
needed. The change essentially makes the PHY library treat PHY devices
with PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT to keep polling for the PHY device, even
though the intent is not to do it.

Fix this by reverting that specific hunk, which makes the PHY state
machine wait for state changes, and stay in the PHY_RUNNING state for as
long as needed.

Currently, if phy state is PHY_RUNNING, we always register a CHANGE
when phy works in polling or interrupt ignored, this will make the
adjust_link being called even the phy link did Not changed.

checking the phy link to make sure the link did changed before we
register a CHANGE, if link did not changed, we do nothing.

commit deccd16f91f930af8e91ffbbfc839d0ad8da999d upstream.

Commit 5ea94e7686a3 ("phy: add phy_mac_interrupt()") to use with
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT added a cancel_work_sync() into phy_mac_interrupt()
which is allowed to sleep, whereas phy_mac_interrupt() is expected to be
callable from interrupt context.

Now that we have fixed how the PHY state machine treats
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT with respect to state changes, we can just set the
new link state, and queue the PHY state machine for execution so it is
going to read the new link state.

For that to work properly, we need to update phy_change() not to try to
invoke any interrupt callbacks if we have configured the PHY device for
PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT, because that PHY device and its driver are not
required to implement those.
