If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 474a31e13a4e9749fb3ee55794d69d0f17ee0998 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2020 18:49:01 +0200 Subject: net: stmmac: fix notifier registration From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxxxxx> commit 474a31e13a4e9749fb3ee55794d69d0f17ee0998 upstream. We cannot register the same netdev notifier multiple times when probing stmmac devices. Register the notifier only once in module init, and also make debugfs creation/deletion safe against simultaneous notifier call.
