The crash occurs, because if the PHY does > not support EEE, then although the EEE timer is never configured, it is > still marked as enabled and so the stmmac ethernet driver is still > trying to update the timer by calling mod_timer(). This triggers a BUG() > in the mod_timer() because we are trying to update a timer when there is > no callback function set because timer_setup() was never called for this > timer. > > The problem is caused because we return true from the function > stmmac_eee_init(), marking the EEE timer as enabled, even when we have > not configured the EEE timer. Fix this by ensuring that we return false > if the PHY does not support EEE and hence, 'eee_active' is not set. > > Fixes: 74371272f97f ("net: stmmac: Convert to phylink and remove phylib logic") > Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jonathanh@xxxxxxxxxx> Applied.
