Subject: [PATCH 5.8 006/633] net: dsa: microchip: fix race condition

From: Christian Eggers <ceggers@...i.de>

[ Upstream commit 8098bd69bc4e925070313b1b95d03510f4f24738 ]

Between queuing the delayed work and finishing the setup of the dsa
ports, the process may sleep in request_module() (via
phy_device_create()) and the queued work may be executed prior to the
switch net devices being registered. In ksz_mib_read_work(), a NULL
dereference will happen within netof_carrier_ok(dp->slave).

Not queuing the delayed work in ksz_init_mib_timer() makes things even
worse because the work will now be queued for immediate execution
(instead of 2000 ms) in ksz_mac_link_down() via
dsa_port_link_register_of().

      |              |  \--port->slave = ...
      |             ...
      |              +--Called for CPU port */

      |                 \--ksz_mac_link_down()
      |                    +--/* mib_read must be initialized here */
      |                    +--/* work is already scheduled, so it will be executed after 2000 ms */
      |                    \--schedule_delayed_work(&dev->mib_read, 0);
      \-- /* here port->slave is setup properly, scheduling the delayed work should be safe */

Solution:
1. Do not queue (only initialize) delayed work in ksz_init_mib_timer().
2. Only queue delayed work in ksz_mac_link_down() if init is completed.
3. Queue work once in ksz_switch_register(), after dsa_register_switch()
has completed.
