This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: Fix mdio cleanup in probe to the 5.10-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: net-ethernet-ti-am65-cpsw-fix-mdio-cleanup-in-probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1c07a66e39e25f9eca8ca5800db8e7438cd4ad60 Author: Siddharth Vadapalli <s-vadapalli@xxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 3 14:33:21 2023 +0530 net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: Fix mdio cleanup in probe [ Upstream commit c6b486fb33680ad5a3a6390ce693c835caaae3f7 ] In the am65_cpsw_nuss_probe() function's cleanup path, the call to of_platform_device_destroy() for the common->mdio_dev device is invoked unconditionally. It is possible that either the MDIO node is not present in the device-tree, or the MDIO node is disabled in the device-tree. In both these cases, the MDIO device is not created, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference when the of_platform_device_destroy() function is invoked on the common->mdio_dev device on the cleanup path. Fix this by ensuring that the common->mdio_dev device exists, before attempting to invoke of_platform_device_destroy().
