This unfortunately didn't work well with LAN9303 and probably will not work
with others:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
CPU: 0 PID: 442 Comm: kworker/0:3 Tainted: G O 6.1.99+gitb7793b7d9b35 #1

worker_thread+0x154/0x450
as long as the ports are not down (and dsa_switch_shutdown() doesn't ensure it),
we cannot just zero drvdata, because PHY polling will eventually call
static int lan9303_mdio_phy_read(struct lan9303 *chip, int addr, int reg)
{
struct lan9303_mdio *sw_dev = dev_get_drvdata(chip->dev);
return mdiobus_read_nested(sw_dev->device->bus, addr, reg);
There are however multiple other unsafe patterns.
I suppose current
dsa_switch_shutdown();
dev_set_drvdata(...->dev, NULL);
pattern is broken in many cases...
