Subject: [PATCH 3.16 239/366] sh_eth: fix invalid context bug while
 changing link options by ethtool

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vladimir_zapolskiy@...tor.com>

commit 5cb3f52a11e18628fc4bee76dd14b1f0b76349de upstream.

The change fixes sleep in atomic context bug, which is encountered
every time when link settings are changed by ethtool.

Since commit 35b5f6b1a82b ("PHYLIB: Locking fixes for PHY I/O
potentially sleeping") phy_start_aneg() function utilizes a mutex
to serialize changes to phy state, however that helper function is
called in atomic context under a grabbed spinlock, because
phy_start_aneg() is called by phy_ethtool_ksettings_set() and by
replaced phy_ethtool_sset() helpers from phylib.

Now duplex mode setting is enforced in sh_eth_adjust_link() only,
also now RX/TX is disabled when link is put down or modifications
to E-MAC registers ECMR and GECMR are expected for both cases of
checked and ignored link status pin state from E-MAC interrupt handler.

For reference the change is a partial rework of commit 1e1b812bbe10
("sh_eth: fix handling of no LINK signal").

Fixes: dc19e4e5e02f ("sh: sh_eth: Add support ethtool")
