[PATCH net v2 0/5] net: phy: fix cleanup after probe failure

[Xuanqiang Luo <xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>]

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

phy_probe() initializes the PHY driver, ports, SFP upstream, and LEDs in
stages. Its error paths do not always release only the resources acquired
at each stage or restore the PHY device state.

Port setup also leaves SFP cleanup split between phy_sfp_probe(),
phy_setup_ports(), and phy_probe(), and default port setup ignores errors
from attaching the port to the PHY driver.

This series makes each initialization layer own its cleanup.

Patch 1 splits the phy_probe() cleanup by initialization stage.

Patch 2 makes SFP and port setup unwind their resources in the required
order.

Patch 3 restores the PHY device state after probe failure.

Patch 4 calls the PHY driver remove callback after later probe failures.

Patch 5 propagates errors from default port setup.

Changes:
v2:
  Patch 1:
  - Limit this patch to splitting phy_probe() error paths, moving the SFP
    teardown fixes to Patch 2.

  Patch 2 (new):
  - makes SFP and port setup unwind their resources in the required order.
  - Add phy_sfp_release() for complete SFP teardown instead of open-coding
    sfp_bus_del_upstream(). (Andrew Lunn, Maxime Chevallier.)

  Patch 3 (new):
  - Restore PHY_DOWN and clear phydev->drv after probe failure.

  Patch 4:
  - Move the former Patch 2 to Patch 4; no functional changes.

  Patch 5 (new):
  - Propagate errors from default port setup.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260812125127.106255-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev/
