Subject: [PATCH net] phylib: fix potential use-after-free
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2022 17:27:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220119162748.32418-1-kabel@kernel.org> (raw)

Commit bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support") added call
to phy_device_reset(phydev) after the put_device() call in phy_detach().

The comment before the put_device() call says that the phydev might go
away with put_device().

Fix potential use-after-free by calling phy_device_reset() before
put_device().
