mainlining shenanigans
4078b76cac
We need to check the return value of phy_connect_direct() in dsa_slave_phy_connect() otherwise we may be continuing the initialization of a slave network device with a PHY that already attached somewhere else and which will soon be in error because the PHY device is in error. The conditions for such an error to occur are that we have a port of our switch that is not disabled, and has the same port number as a PHY address (say both 5) that can be probed using the DSA slave MII bus. We end-up having this slave network device find a PHY at the same address as our port number, and we try to attach to it. A slave network (e.g: port 0) has already attached to our PHY device, and we try to re-attach it with a different network device, but since we ignore the error we would end-up initializating incorrect device references by the time the slave network interface is opened. The code has been (re)organized several times, making it hard to provide an exact Fixes tag, this is a bugfix nonetheless.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
