Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: systemport: Fix missing phy-handle parsing for non-fixed PHYs
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:25:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922222525.3992167-2-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922222525.3992167-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>
In bcm_sysport_probe(), priv->phy_dn is only initialized if the device
tree node has a fixed-link configuration (of_phy_is_fixed_link). When
connecting to a discrete MDIO-attached PHY referenced via 'phy-handle',
priv->phy_dn remains NULL. This causes of_phy_connect() during
bcm_sysport_open() to fail with -ENODEV since of_phy_find_device(NULL)
returns NULL.
Fix this by parsing 'phy-handle' via of_parse_phandle() and falling back
to of_phy_is_fixed_link(). Ensure proper of_node_get() and of_node_put()
refcounting lifecycle on both error unwinding and module remove paths.
