Keep track of disable_irq_nosync() invocations and call enable_irq() the right number of times if work has been cancelled that would include them. Now that the call to flush_work_keventd() (problematic because of rtnl_mutex being held) has been replaced by cancel_work_sync() another issue has arisen and been left unresolved. As the MDIO bus cannot be accessed from the interrupt context the PHY interrupt handler uses disable_irq_nosync() to prevent from looping and schedules some work to be done as a softirq, which, apart from handling the state change of the originating PHY, is responsible for reenabling the interrupt. Now if the interrupt line is shared by another device and a call to the softirq handler has been cancelled, that call to enable_irq() never happens and the other device cannot use its interrupt anymore as its stuck disabled. I decided to use a counter rather than a flag because there may be more than one call to phy_change() cancelled in the queue -- a real one and a fake one triggered by free_irq() if DEBUG_SHIRQ is used, if nothing else. Therefore because of its nesting property enable_irq() has to be called the right number of times to match the number disable_irq_nosync() was called and restore the original state. This DEBUG_SHIRQ feature is also the reason why free_irq() has to be called before cancel_work_sync(). While at it I updated the comment about phy_stop_interrupts() being called from `keventd' -- this is no longer relevant as the use of cancel_work_sync() makes such an approach unnecessary. OTOH a similar comment referring to flush_scheduled_work() in phy_stop() still applies as using cancel_work_sync() there would be dangerous. Checked with checkpatch.pl and at the run time (with and without DEBUG_SHIRQ). Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Use spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() for the phydev lock throughout as it is used in phy_timer() that is called as a softirq and all the other operations may happen in the user context. There has been a change recently that did such a conversion for some of the operations on the lock, but some have been left intact. Many of them, perhaps all, may be called in the user context and I was able to trigger recursive spinlock acquisition indeed, so I think for the sake of long-term maintenance it is best to convert them all, even if unnecessarily for one or two -- better safe than sorry. Perhaps one in phy_timer() could actually be skipped as only called as a softirq -- I can send an update if that sounds like a good idea. Checked with checkpatch.pl and at the runtime.

A driver model and phylib update. It includes the following changes: 1. Removal of unused module options. 2. Phylib support and the resulting removal of generic bits for handling the PHY. 3. Proper reserving of device resources and using ioremap()ped handles to access MAC registers rather than platform-specific macros. 4. Handling of the device using the driver model.
