4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 42ea4457aea7aaeddf0c0b06724f297608f5e9d2 ] If fec MDIO write method succeeds its return value comes from call to pm_runtime_get_sync(). But pm_runtime_get_sync() can also return 1. In case of Micrel KSZ9031 PHY this value will then be returned along the call chain of phy_write() -> ksz9031_extended_write() -> ksz9031_center_flp_timing() -> ksz9031_config_init() -> phy_init_hw() -> phy_attach_direct() -> phy_connect_direct(). Then phy_connect() will cast it into a pointer using ERR_PTR(), which then fec_enet_mii_probe() will try to dereference resulting in an oops. Fix it by normalizing return value of pm_runtime_get_sync() to be zero if positive in MDIO write method.
