With CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES enabled, mutex_destroy() needs to be called
before the lock is discarded. Use devm_mutex_init() instead so the
cleanup is handled automatically.

The MT7531 indirect PHY access functions poll MT7531_PHY_IAC through
a helper which returns 0 when the underlying read fails, so a failed
bus transaction clears MT7531_PHY_ACS_ST and the access carries on,
returning garbage PHY register data to phylib.

Poll using regmap_read_poll_timeout(), which stops on read errors and
propagates them. These functions hold the MDIO bus lock across the
whole sequence, so the unlocked regmap accesses remain correct. Remove
the now-unused _mt7530_unlocked_read().

bus-&gt;read() returns a negative errno on failure, but
mt7530_regmap_read() assigns it to a u16, truncating e.g. -ETIMEDOUT
into 0xff92, and returns success. The garbage word is then consumed as
register data, and read-modify-write cycles write it back to the
switch. Check both reads and propagate their errors.

The same defect existed in mt7530_mii_read() since the driver was
introduced and moved into the regmap backend unchanged.

<title>net: dsa: mxl862xx: fix use-after-free of DSA ports in crc_err_work</title>

<id>bcb3b8314611ed9cb4ff4bff484ef9b154fd1b83</id>
<content type='text'>
Upon an MDIO CRC error mxl862xx_crc_err_work_fn() walks the DSA ports
and closes the CPU port conduits:

	dsa_switch_for_each_cpu_port(dp, priv-&gt;ds)
		dev_close(dp-&gt;conduit);

mxl862xx_remove() unregisters the switch before cancelling this work:

	set_bit(MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, &amp;priv-&gt;flags);
	cancel_delayed_work_sync(&amp;priv-&gt;stats_work);
	dsa_unregister_switch(ds);
	mxl862xx_host_shutdown(priv);

dsa_unregister_switch() frees the dsa_port objects. If a CRC error
schedules the work during teardown it can run after the ports have been
freed and dereference freed memory.

Guard the port walk with MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, which is already set
before dsa_unregister_switch(). DSA tears the ports down under
rtnl_lock(), so checking the flag under rtnl_lock() means the work either
runs before teardown and sees valid ports, or runs afterwards, observes
the flag and skips the walk. This mirrors the host_flood_work handler,
which skips torn-down ports under rtnl_lock().

	cancel_delayed_work_sync(&amp;priv-&gt;stats_work);
	dsa_unregister_switch(ds);
	mxl862xx_host_shutdown(priv);

dsa_unregister_switch() frees the dsa_port objects. If a CRC error
schedules the work during teardown it can run after the ports have been
freed and dereference freed memory.

Guard the port walk with MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, which is already set
before dsa_unregister_switch(). DSA tears the ports down under
rtnl_lock(), so checking the flag under rtnl_lock() means the work either
runs before teardown and sees valid ports, or runs afterwards, observes
the flag and skips the walk. This mirrors the host_flood_work handler,
which skips torn-down ports under rtnl_lock().

The MXL862XX_API_* macros pass the address of a stack-allocated, __packed
firmware-ABI struct to mxl862xx_api_wrap() as a void *. The struct has an
alignment of 1, so the compiler is free to place it at an odd address.

mxl862xx_api_wrap() reinterprets that buffer as a __le16 * and accesses it
with data[i], for which the compiler assumes the natural 2-byte alignment
of __le16 and emits aligned 16-bit loads/stores (e.g. lhu/sh on MIPS).
When the buffer lands on an odd address these fault on architectures that
do not support unaligned access, such as MIPS32.

-Waddress-of-packed-member does not catch this: the packed origin is
laundered through the void * parameter, so the cast inside api_wrap looks
alignment-safe to the compiler and no warning is emitted.

Use get_unaligned_le16()/put_unaligned_le16() for the three 16-bit word
accesses. The byte accesses (*(u8 *)&amp;data[i], crc16()) are already safe
and are left unchanged.
