[PATCH 1/4] phylib: fix PAL state machine restart on resume

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Simon Guinot <sguinot@xxxxxxxxx>

On resume, before starting the PAL state machine, check if the
adjust_link() method is well supplied. If not, this would lead to a
NULL pointer dereference in the phy_state_machine() function.

This scenario can happen if the Ethernet driver call manually the PHY
functions instead of using the PAL state machine. The mv643xx_eth driver
is a such example.
