The phylib core will not be taking this mutex when it calls into the PHY driver. This applies to all the calls you have with phy_ There should not be any need to call phy_read_status(). phylib will do this once per second, or after any interrupt from the PHY. so just use phydev->link > +static void > +ax88796c_get_regs(struct net_device *ndev, struct ethtool_regs *regs, void *_p) > +{ > + struct ax88796c_device *ax_local = to_ax88796c_device(ndev); > + u16 *p = _p; > + int offset, i; > + > + memset(p, 0, AX88796C_REGDUMP_LEN); > + > + for (offset = 0; offset < AX88796C_REGDUMP_LEN; offset += 2) { > + if (!test_bit(offset / 2, ax88796c_no_regs_mask)) > + *p = AX_READ(&ax_local->ax_spi, offset); > + p++; > + } > + > + for (i = 0; i < AX88796C_PHY_REGDUMP_LEN / 2; i++) { > + *p = phy_read(ax_local->phydev, i); > + p++; Depending on the PHY, that can be dangerous. phylib could be busy doing things with the PHY. It could be looking at a different page for example. miitool(1) can give you the same functionally without the MAC driver doing anything, other than forwarding the IOCTL call on. > +int ax88796c_mdio_read(struct mii_bus *mdiobus, int phy_id, int loc) > +{ > + struct ax88796c_device *ax_local = mdiobus->priv; > + int ret; > + > + AX_WRITE(&ax_local->ax_spi, MDIOCR_RADDR(loc) > + | MDIOCR_FADDR(phy_id) | MDIOCR_READ, P2_MDIOCR); > + > + ret = read_poll_timeout(AX_READ, ret, > + (ret != 0), > + 0, jiffies_to_usecs(HZ / 100), false, > + &ax_local->ax_spi, P2_MDIOCR); > + if (ret) > + return -EBUSY; Return whatever read_poll_timeout() returned.

The hardware is not going to respect the phydev->lock mutex, for example. Disable this, and add a proper ax88796c_handle_link_change(). > +static int > +ax88796c_open(struct net_device *ndev) > +{ > + struct ax88796c_device *ax_local = to_ax88796c_device(ndev); > + int ret; > + unsigned long irq_flag = IRQF_SHARED; > + > + mutex_lock(&ax_local->spi_lock); > + > + ret = ax88796c_soft_reset(ax_local); > + if (ret < 0) > + return -ENODEV; > + > + ret = request_irq(ndev->irq, ax88796c_interrupt, > + irq_flag, ndev->name, ndev); Maybe look at using request_threaded_irq().

If this is being used for NFS root, the kernel will start using it. So what sort of mess will it get into, if there is no PHY yet?
