From 70e927b98bb632e0c987818835aacd6787ebe107 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Vasut Date: Mon, 2 May 2016 02:47:31 +0200 Subject: mdio_bus: Fix MDIO bus scanning in __mdiobus_register() Since commit b74766a0a0fe ("phylib: don't return NULL from get_phy_device()") in linux-next, phy_get_device() will return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead of NULL if the PHY device ID is all ones. This causes problem with stmmac driver and likely some other drivers which call mdiobus_register(). I triggered this bug on SoCFPGA MCVEVK board with linux-next 20160427 and 20160428. In case of the stmmac, if there is no PHY node specified in the DT for the stmmac block, the stmmac driver ( drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_mdio.c function stmmac_mdio_register() ) will call mdiobus_register() , which will register the MDIO bus and probe for the PHY. The mdiobus_register() resp. __mdiobus_register() iterates over all of the addresses on the MDIO bus and calls mdiobus_scan() for each of them, which invokes get_phy_device(). Before the aforementioned patch, the mdiobus_scan() would return NULL if no PHY was found on a given address and mdiobus_register() would continue and try the next PHY address. Now, mdiobus_scan() returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), which is caught by the 'if (IS_ERR(phydev))' condition and the loop exits immediately if the PHY address does not contain PHY. Repair this by explicitly checking for the ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and if this error comes around, continue with the next PHY address. Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: David S.
