net: phy: fix regression with AX88772A PHY driver
Marek reports that a deadlock occurs with the AX88772A PHY used on the ASIX USB network driver: asix 1-1.4:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): PHY [usb-001:003:10] driver [Asix Electronics AX88772A] (irq=POLL) Asix Electronics AX88772A usb-001:003:10: attached PHY driver(mii_bus:phy_addr=usb-001:003:10, irq=POLL) asix 1-1.4:1.0 eth0: register 'asix' at usb-12110000.usb-1.4, ASIX AX88772 USB 2.0 Ethernet, a2:99:b6:cd:11:eb asix 1-1.4:1.0 eth0: configuring for phy/internal link mode ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.6.0-rc1-00239-g8da77df6-dirty #13949 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- kworker/3:3/71 is trying to acquire lock: c6c704cc (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: phy_start_aneg+0x1c/0x38 but task is already holding lock: c6c704cc (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: phy_state_machine+0x100/0x2b8 This is because we now consistently call phy_process_state_change() while holding phydev->lock, but the AX88772A PHY driver then goes on to call phy_start_aneg() which tries to grab the same lock - causing deadlock. Fix this by exporting the unlocked version, and use this in the PHY driver instead.
