This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dpaa2-eth: unregister the netdev before disconnecting from the PHY to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dpaa2-eth-unregister-the-netdev-before-disconnecting.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 06b2d5973b8191feb26e9cfc37772d79517e798a Author: Robert-Ionut Alexa <robert-ionut.alexa@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 9 17:57:43 2022 +0200 dpaa2-eth: unregister the netdev before disconnecting from the PHY [ Upstream commit 9ccc6e0c8959a019bb40f6b18704b142c04b19a8 ] The netdev should be unregistered before we are disconnecting from the MAC/PHY so that the dev_close callback is called and the PHY and the phylink workqueues are actually stopped before we are disconnecting and destroying the phylink instance.
