In the blamed commit, it was not noticed that one implementation of chip->info->ops->phylink_get_caps(), called by mv88e6xxx_get_caps(), may access hardware registers, and in doing so, it takes the mv88e6xxx_reg_lock(). Namely, this is mv88e6352_phylink_get_caps(). This is a problem because mv88e6xxx_get_caps(), apart from being a top-level function (method invoked by dsa_switch_ops), is now also directly called from mv88e6xxx_setup_port(), which runs under the mv88e6xxx_reg_lock() taken by mv88e6xxx_setup(). Therefore, when running on mv88e6352, the reg_lock would be acquired a second time and the system would deadlock on driver probe. The things that mv88e6xxx_setup() can compete with in terms of register access with are the IRQ handlers and MDIO bus operations registered by mv88e6xxx_probe(). So there is a real need to acquire the register lock. The register lock can, in principle, be dropped and re-acquired pretty much at will within the driver, as long as no operations that involve waiting for indirect access to complete (essentially, callers of mv88e6xxx_smi_direct_wait() and mv88e6xxx_wait_mask()) are interrupted with the lock released. However, I would guess that in mv88e6xxx_setup(), the critical section is kept open for such a long time just in order to optimize away multiple lock/unlock operations on the registers. We could, in principle, drop the reg_lock right before the mv88e6xxx_setup_port() -> mv88e6xxx_get_caps() call, and re-acquire it immediately afterwards. But this would look ugly, because mv88e6xxx_setup_port() would release a lock which it didn't acquire, but the caller did. A cleaner solution to this issue comes from the observation that struct mv88e6xxxx_ops methods generally assume they are called with the reg_lock already acquired. Whereas mv88e6352_phylink_get_caps() is more the exception rather than the norm, in that it acquires the lock itself. Let's enforce the same locking pattern/convention for chip->info->ops->phylink_get_caps() as well, and make mv88e6xxx_get_caps(), the top-level function, acquire the register lock explicitly, for this one implementation that will access registers for port 4 to work properly. This means that mv88e6xxx_setup_port() will no longer call the top-level function, but the low-level mv88e6xxx_ops method which expects the correct calling context (register lock held). Compared to chip->info->ops->phylink_get_caps(), mv88e6xxx_get_caps() also fixes up the supported_interfaces bitmap for internal ports, since that can be done generically and does not require per-switch knowledge. That's code which will no longer execute, however mv88e6xxx_setup_port() doesn't need that. It just needs to look at the mac_capabilities bitmap.
