causes in just a second or two:

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The reason appears to be ucc_geth_stop meets adjust_link as the
PHY reports PHY changes. I belive adjust_link hangs somewhere,
holding the PHY lock, because ucc_geth_stop disabled the
controller HW.
Fix is to stop the PHY before disabling the controller.
