This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: phy: fixed_phy: handle link-down case to the 4.2-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-phy-fixed_phy-handle-link-down-case.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Wed Sep 30 05:25:07 CEST 2015 From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 17:49:56 -0700 Subject: net: phy: fixed_phy: handle link-down case From: Stas Sergeev <stsp@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream 868a4215be9a6d80548ccb74763b883dc99d32a2 in net-next tree, will be pushed to Linus very soon. ] fixed_phy_register() currently hardcodes the fixed PHY link to 1, and expects to find a "speed" parameter to provide correct information towards the fixed PHY consumer. In a subsequent change, where we allow "managed" (e.g: (RS)GMII in-band status auto-negotiation) fixed PHYs, none of these parameters can be provided since they will be auto-negotiated, hence, we just provide a zero-initialized fixed_phy_status to fixed_phy_register() which makes it fail when we call fixed_phy_update_regs() since status.speed = 0 which makes us hit the "default" label and error out. Without this change, we would also see potentially inconsistent speed/duplex parameters for fixed PHYs when the link is DOWN.
