Re: [PATCH net-next v4 0/4] net: mdio: support dynamic OF device changes

I guess it can also be used like this for live dt modification:
A guess is not good enough. Give us a concrete, in kernel use cases.
AFAIU the patches other than the last one are still relevant regardless
since they are fixing a bunch of generic mdio safety issues in code that
has users since MDIO maps already change at runtime through non-OF
paths(i.e. SFP insertion/removal).
Fixes are fine, but please word the commit message around real things
that can happen in todays kernel. If it is a race condition, such bug
reports often show the call stack of the two racing threads.

Do you have a board with an SFP cage? Can you test your change.
