commit 02d5fdbf4f2b8c406f7a4c98fa52aa181a11d733 upstream.

Background: Turris Omnia (Armada 385); eth2 (mvneta) connected to SFP bus;
SFP module is present, but no fiber connected, so definitely no carrier.

After booting, eth2 is down, but netdev LED trigger surprisingly reports
link active. Then, after "ip link set eth2 up", the link indicator goes
away - as I would have expected it from the beginning.

It turns out, that the default carrier state after netdev creation is
"carrier ok". Some ethernet drivers explicitly call netif_carrier_off
during probing, others (like mvneta) don't - which explains the current
behaviour: only when the device is brought up, phylink_start calls
netif_carrier_off.

Fix this for all drivers using phylink, by calling netif_carrier_off in
phylink_create.

Fixes: 089381b27abe ("leds: initial support for Turris Omnia LEDs")

[ Upstream commit e27aca3760c08b7b05aea71068bd609aa93e7b35 ]

Add a quirk for a copper SFP that identifies itself as "FS" "SFP-2.5G-T".
This module's PHY is inaccessible, and can only run at 2500base-X with the
host without negotiation. Add a quirk to enable the 2500base-X interface mode
with 2500base-T support and disable auto negotiation.

Fiberstone GPON-ONU-34-20B can operate at 2500base-X, but report 1.2GBd
NRZ in their EEPROM.

The module also require the ignore tx fault fixup similar to Huawei MA5671A
as it gets disabled on error messages with serial redirection enabled.

<title>net: phy: Provide Module 4 KSZ9477 errata (DS80000754C)</title>

<content type='text'>
The KSZ9477 errata points out (in 'Module 4') the link up/down problems
when EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is enabled in the device to which
the KSZ9477 tries to auto negotiate.

The suggested workaround is to clear advertisement of EEE for PHYs in
this chip driver.

To avoid regressions with other switch ICs the new MICREL_NO_EEE flag
has been introduced.

Moreover, the in-register disablement of MMD_DEVICE_ID_EEE_ADV.MMD_EEE_ADV
MMD register is removed, as this code is both; now executed too late
(after previous rework of the PHY and DSA for KSZ switches) and not
required as setting all members of eee_broken_modes bit field prevents
the KSZ9477 from advertising EEE.

Since commit 91a7cda1f4b8 ("net: phy: Fix race condition on link status
change") all the phy_error() method invocations have been causing the
nested-mutex-lock deadlock because it's normally done in the PHY-driver
threaded IRQ handlers which since that change have been called with the
phydev-&gt;lock mutex held. Here is the calls thread:

IRQ: phy_interrupt()

         mutex_unlock(&amp;phydev-&gt;lock);

The problem can be easily reproduced just by calling phy_error() from any
PHY-device threaded interrupt handler. Fix it by dropping the phydev-&gt;lock
mutex lock from the phy_process_error() method and printing a nasty error
message to the system log if the mutex isn't held in the caller execution
context.

Note for the fix to work correctly in the PHY-subsystem itself the
phydev-&gt;lock mutex locking must be added to the phy_error_precise()
function.

Since commit 91a7cda1f4b8 ("net: phy: Fix race condition on link status
change") all the phy_error() method invocations have been causing the
nested-mutex-lock deadlock because it's normally done in the PHY-driver
threaded IRQ handlers which since that change have been called with the
phydev-&gt;lock mutex held. Here is the calls thread:

IRQ: phy_interrupt()
     +-&gt; mutex_lock(&amp;phydev-&gt;lock); &lt;--------------------+
         drv-&gt;handle_interrupt()                         | Deadlock due
         +-&gt; ERROR: phy_error()                          + to the nested
                    +-&gt; phy_process_error()              | mutex lock
                        +-&gt; mutex_lock(&amp;phydev-&gt;lock); &lt;-+
                            phydev-&gt;state = PHY_ERROR;
                            mutex_unlock(&amp;phydev-&gt;lock);
         mutex_unlock(&amp;phydev-&gt;lock);

mutex lock from the phy_process_error() method and printing a nasty error
