[ Upstream commit 6d9f66ac ] The Generic PHY drivers gets assigned after we checked that the current PHY driver is NULL, so we need to check a few things before we can safely dereference d->driver. This would be causing a NULL deference to occur when a system binds to the Generic PHY driver. Update phy_attach_direct() to do the following: - grab the driver module reference after we have assigned the Generic PHY drivers accordingly, and remember we came from the generic PHY path - update the error path to clean up the module reference in case the Generic PHY probe function fails - split the error path involving phy_detacht() to avoid double free/put since phy_detach() does all the clean up - finally, have phy_detach() drop the module reference count before we call device_release_driver() for the Generic PHY driver case Fixes: cafe8df8 ("net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY driver") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
