Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: propperly shutdown PPU re-enable timer on destroy

The mv88e6xxx has an internal PPU that polls PHY state. If we want to
access the internal PHYs, we need to disable it. Because enable/disable
of the PPU is a slow operation, a 10ms timer is used to re-enable it,
canceled with every access, so bulk operations effectively only disable
it once and re-enable it some 10ms after the last access.

If a PHY is accessed and then the mv88e6xxx module is removed before
the 10ms are up, the PPU re-enable ends up accessing a dangling pointer.

This especially affects probing during bootup. The MDIO bus and PHY
registration may succeed, but registration with the DSA framework
may fail later on (e.g. because the CPU port depends on another,
very slow device that isn't done probing yet, returning -EPROBE_DEFER).
In this case, probe() fails, but the MDIO subsystem may already have
accessed the MIDO bus or PHYs, arming timer.

This is fixed as follows:
 - If probe fails after mv88e6xxx_phy_init(), make sure we also call
   mv88e6xxx_phy_destroy() before returning
 - In mv88e6xxx_phy_destroy(), grab the ppu_mutex to make sure the work
   function either has already exited, or (should it run) cannot do
   anything, fails to grab the mutex and returns.
 - In addition to destroying the timer, also destroy the work item, in
   case the timer has already fired.
 - Do all of this synchronously, to make sure timer & work item are
   destroyed and none of the callbacks are running.

Fixes: 2e5f032095ff ("dsa: add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chip")

FWIW, this is a forward port of a patch I'm using on v6.6.

Thanks,

David
