Revert "net: eth: cpsw: Correctly attach to GPIO bitbang MDIO driver"
This reverts commit f8d56d8f ("net: eth: cpsw: Correctly attach to GPIO bitbang MDIO driver"). Fix potential null-pointer dereference at probe if the mdio-gpio device has not been successfully probed yet. The offending commit is plain wrong for a number of reasons. First of all it accesses internal driver data of an unrelated device. Neither does it check that the data is non-null (which it is in case the device has not been probed yet). Furthermore, the decision on whether to treat any driver data according to the mdio-gpio driver's internals is made based on the node name. But the name is not compared against "mdio" which is the normal name for the node, but rather against "gpio" which the node does not have to be named (and shouldn't be according to the binding documentation). [ If this hack is to be kept out-of-tree it should at least be matching against the compatible property. ] Cc: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.14 Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
