[PATCH] tg3: clean up PHYLIB resources on probe failure

From: Myeonghun Pak <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-13 01:21:56

tg3_get_invariants() can register an MDIO bus and connect a PHY for
USE_PHYLIB devices. If tg3_init_one() later fails, its common error path
releases the mappings and netdev without undoing those PHYLIB resources.

Disconnect the PHY and unregister the MDIO bus before the remaining
teardown. The existing IS_CONNECTED and MDIOBUS_INITED flags make both
helpers safe when initialization only completed partially.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

Looking at tg3_get_invariants(), tg3_mdio_init() is not conditional on
USE_PHYLIB.

Hi Andrew,

I'll remove the redundant USE_PHYLIB check in v2, as both cleanup
helpers already check their initialization flags.

Thanks,
Myeonghun
