Subject: [PATCH net] of: of_mdio: Ensure mdio device is a PHY
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:12:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453817550-4770-1-git-send-email-andrew@lunn.ch> (raw)

of_phy_find_device() is used to find the phy device associated with a
device node. It is expected the node is for a PHY device, but in fact
it could of been probed as a generic MDIO device. Ensure the device is
a PHY before returning it.

Fixes: a9049e0c513c ("mdio: Add support for mdio drivers.")
Reported-by: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com>
Reported-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>

This is only 1/2 the fix. It will stop the NULL pointer dereference in
the mutex code, but the Ethernet device probe is likely to return an
error when it cannot find its PHY.
