Subject: [PATCH net v2 4/5] net: phy: call driver remove when core initialization fails
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:29:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813132946.116176-5-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813132946.116176-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

phy_probe() may fail while querying features or completing other core
initialization after the PHY driver probe callback has succeeded. The
driver core does not run the remove path after a probe error, so
resources that the PHY driver releases in its remove callback are
leaked.

Call the PHY driver remove callback on these failures.

Fixes: efbdfdc29bdd ("net: phy: Add support for asking the PHY its abilities")
