Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Add additional phydev locks

The phydev lock should be held when accessing members of phydev, or
calling into the driver. Some of the phy_ethtool_ functions are
missing locks. Add them. To avoid deadlock the marvell driver is
modified since it calls one of the functions which gain locks, which
would result in a deadlock.

The missing locks have not caused noticeable issues, so these patches
are for net-next.

Andrew Lunn (2):
  net: phy: marvell: Use the unlocked genphy_c45_ethtool_get_eee()
  net: phy: Add locks to ethtool functions
