Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next v2 2/7] net: phy: add mdiodev_lock(), mdiodev_lock_nested() and mdiodev_unlock()
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 15:57:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908155707.4164559-3-f@lex.la> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908155707.4164559-1-f@lex.la>
Code that holds the MDIO bus across a burst of transactions has
phy_lock_mdio_bus(), which needs a phy_device. A library serving a chip
before its phy_device exists has to open-code the same mutex.
Add the mdio_device spelling beside it. The nested form is for a
library whose caller already holds the bus one level up, which is what
the EN8811H MDIO driver later in this series does.
