ocelot_port_xmit() calls ocelot_can_inject() and ocelot_port_inject_frame()
without holding ocelot->inj_lock. However, both functions have
lockdep_assert_held(&ocelot->inj_lock) indicating that callers must hold
this lock.

The correct caller felix_port_deferred_xmit() properly acquires the lock
using ocelot_lock_inj_grp() before calling these functions.

Add ocelot_lock_inj_grp()/ocelot_unlock_inj_grp() around the injection
code path in ocelot_port_xmit() to fix the missing lock protection.

I'm under the impression this static_branch_unlikely() usage is racy,
i.e. on CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel execution could enter this branch but not
the paired lock.

What about moving the 'Check timestamp' block in a separate helper and
use a single static_branch_unlikely() branch? something alike the
following, completely untested and unfinished:

	if (!static_branch_unlikely(&ocelot_fdma_enabled)) {
		int ret = NETDEV_TX_OK;

		ocelot_lock_inj_grp(ocelot, 0);

		if (!ocelot_can_inject(ocelot, 0)) {
			ret = NETDEV_TX_BUSY;
			goto unlock;
		}

		if (!ocelot_timestamp_check())
			goto unlock;


		ocelot_port_inject_frame(ocelot, port, 0, rew_op, skb);
		consume_skb(skb);
unlock:
		ocelot_unlock_inj_grp(ocelot, 0);
		return ret;
	}

	if (!ocelot_timestamp_check())
		return NETDEV_TX_OK;
	ocelot_fdma_inject_frame(ocelot, port, rew_op, skb, dev);
	return NETDEV_TX_OK;

Well, after scratching the above, I noted it would probably better to
invert the two branches...
