Subject: [PATCH net v2 5/5] net: phy: propagate errors from default port setup
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:29:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813132946.116176-6-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813132946.116176-1-xuanqiang.luo@linux.dev>
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>
phy_default_setup_single_port() ignores errors from phy_add_port() and
always reports success. If a PHY driver attach_mdi_port() callback fails,
the phy_port is leaked and PHY probing continues without the expected
default port.
Destroy the port and return the error.
Fixes: 589e934d2735 ("net: phy: Introduce PHY ports representation")
