Jerome provided the information that also the GXL internal PHY doesn't
support MMD register access and EEE. MMD reads return 0xffff, what
results in e.g. completely wrong ethtool --show-eee output.
Therefore use the MMD dummy stubs.

<title>net: phylink: move phy_device_free() to correctly release phy device</title>

After calling fwnode_phy_find_device(), the phy device refcount is
incremented. Then, when the phy device is attached to a netdev with
phy_attach_direct(), the refcount is also incremented but only
decremented in the caller if phy_attach_direct() fails. Move
phy_device_free() before the "if" to always release it correctly.
Indeed, either phy_attach_direct() failed and we don't want to keep a
reference to the phydev or it succeeded and a reference has been taken
internally.

The Meson G12A Internal PHY does not support standard IEEE MMD extended
register access, therefore add generic dummy stubs to fail the read and
write MMD calls. This is necessary to prevent the core PHY code from
erroneously believing that EEE is supported by this PHY even though this
PHY does not support EEE, as MMD register access returns all FFFFs.

The probe() function is only used for the DP83822 PHY, leaving the
private data pointer uninitialized for the smaller DP83825/26 models.
While all uses of the private data structure are hidden in 82822 specific
callbacks, configuring the interrupt is shared across all models.
This causes a NULL pointer dereference on the smaller PHYs as it accesses
the private data unchecked. Verifying the pointer avoids that.

     workload with the number of available CPUs

   - Add the helper support for connection-tracking OVS offload

  BPF:

   - Support for user defined BPF objects: the use case is to allocate
     own objects, build own object hierarchies and use the building
     blocks to build own data structures flexibly, for example, linked
     lists in BPF

   - Make cgroup local storage available to non-cgroup attached BPF
     programs

   - Avoid unnecessary deadlock detection and failures wrt BPF task
     storage helpers

   - Add bpf_rcu_read_{,un}lock() support for sleepable programs

   - Add RCU grace period chaining to BPF to wait for the completion of
     access from both sleepable and non-sleepable BPF programs

   - Add support storing struct task_struct objects as kptrs in maps

   - Improve helper UAPI by explicitly defining BPF_FUNC_xxx integer
     values

   - Extensions for Ethernet VPN bridging implementation to better
     support multicast scenarios

   - More work for Wi-Fi 7 support, comprising conversion of all the
     existing drivers to internal TX queue usage

   - IPSec: introduce a new offload type (packet offload) allowing
     complete header processing and crypto offloading

   - IPSec: extended ack support for more descriptive XFRM error
     reporting

   - RXRPC: increase SACK table size and move processing into a
     per-local endpoint kernel thread, reducing considerably the
     required locking

   - IEEE 802154: synchronous send frame and extended filtering support,
     initial support for scanning available 15.4 networks

   - Tun: bump the link speed from 10Mbps to 10Gbps

   - Tun/VirtioNet: implement UDP segmentation offload support

  Driver API:

   - PHY/SFP: improve power level switching between standard level 1 and
     the higher power levels

   - New API for netdev &lt;-&gt; devlink_port linkage

   - PTP: convert existing drivers to new frequency adjustment
     implementation

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
   there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
   sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
   interval:

       get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
       get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
       get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]

   Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
   prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
   improvements throughout the tree.

   I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
   prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
   use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
   there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
   that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
   conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
   second week.

   This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.

 - More consistent use of get_random_canary().

 - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
   simplification in configuration.

 - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
   wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
   in all relevant contexts.

 - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
   variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
   initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
   prevent accidental leakage.

   These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
   EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
   EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
   functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.

 - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
   an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
   replacing an sleep loop wart.

 - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
   input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
   going through helpers better suited for other cases.

 - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
   handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
   used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.

   But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
   in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
   gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
   to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
   without the absent latent entropy variable.

 - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
   when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
   CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
   do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
   more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
   transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
   vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).

 - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
   CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
   and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
   when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
   main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
   firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
   line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
   cause latencies.
