But there is one more which applies here.\n\nIf the DSA master itself is on a bus that calls ->remove from ->shutdown\n(like dpaa2-eth, which is on the fsl-mc bus), there is a device link\nbetween the switch and the DSA master, and device_links_unbind_consumers()\nwill unbind the ar9331 switch driver on shutdown.\n\nSo the same treatment must be applied to all DSA switch drivers, which\nis: either use devres for both the mdiobus allocation and registration,\nor don't use devres at all.\n\nThe ar9331 driver doesn't have a complex code structure for mdiobus\nremoval, so just replace of_mdiobus_register with the devres variant in\norder to be all-devres and ensure that we don't free a still-registered\nbus." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "Linux", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "Linux", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "<", "version_name": "ac3a68d56651", "version_value": "475ce5dcf2d8" }, { "version_value": "not down converted", "x_cve_json_5_version_data": { "versions": [ { "version": "5.9", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.24", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.16.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.16.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.17", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ], "defaultStatus": "affected" } } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/475ce5dcf2d88fd4f3c213a0ac944e3e40702970", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/475ce5dcf2d88fd4f3c213a0ac944e3e40702970" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aae1c6a1d3d696fc33b609fb12fe744a556d1dc5", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aae1c6a1d3d696fc33b609fb12fe744a556d1dc5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f1842a8cb71de4d7eb75a86f76e88c7ee739218c", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f1842a8cb71de4d7eb75a86f76e88c7ee739218c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50facd86e9fbc4b93fe02e5fe05776047f45dbfb", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50facd86e9fbc4b93fe02e5fe05776047f45dbfb" } ] }, "generator": { "engine": "bippy-9e1c9544281a" } }
