Hi Florian
Is the locking O.K. here? The core code does not take the phy lock.
But i think your shadow register accesses at least need to be
protected by the lock?
Maybe we should think about this locking a bit. It is normal for the
lock to be held when using ops in the phy driver structure. The
exception is suspend/resume. Maybe we should also take the lock before
calling the phydev->drv->get_tunable() and phydev->drv->set_tunable()?
