[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 56/59] net: usb: lan78xx: Connect PHY before registering MAC

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-10-26 13:28:07
Also in: linux-usb, lkml, stable
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb lan78xx ethernet driver, usb networking drivers · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Thangaraj Samynathan, Rengarajan Sundararajan

From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>

[ Upstream commit 38b4fe320119859c11b1dc06f6b4987a16344fa1 ]

As soon as the netdev is registers, the kernel can start using the
interface. If the driver connects the MAC to the PHY after the netdev
is registered, there is a race condition where the interface can be
opened without having the PHY connected.

Change the order to close this race condition.
