Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: micrel: fix clk warning when removing the driver
Since the commit 25c6a5ab151f ("net: phy: micrel: Dynamically control
external clock of KSZ PHY"), the clock of Micrel PHY has been enabled
by phy_driver::resume() and disabled by phy_driver::suspend(). However,
devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() is used in kszphy_probe(), so the clock
will automatically be disabled when the device is unbound from the bus.
Therefore, this could cause the clock to be disabled twice, resulting
in clk driver warnings.
For example, this issue can be reproduced on i.MX6ULL platform, and we
can see the following logs when removing the FEC MAC drivers.
$ echo 2188000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/fec/unbind
$ echo 20b4000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/fec/unbind

After analyzing the process of removing the FEC driver, as shown below,
it can be seen that the clock was disabled twice by the PHY driver.
fec_drv_remove()
--> fec_enet_close()
--> phy_stop()
--> phy_suspend()
--> kszphy_suspend() #1 The clock is disabled
--> fec_enet_mii_remove()
--> mdiobus_unregister()
--> phy_mdio_device_remove()
--> device_del()
--> devm_clk_release() #2 The clock is disabled again
Therefore, devm_clk_get_optional() is used to fix the above issue. And
to avoid the issue mentioned by the commit 985329462723 ("net: phy:
micrel: use devm_clk_get_optional_enabled for the rmii-ref clock"), the
clock is enabled by clk_prepare_enable() to get the correct clock rate.
Fixes: 25c6a5ab151f ("net: phy: micrel: Dynamically control external clock of KSZ PHY")
