Hi Greg, This patch is not marked for 4.4-stable, but it's already in 4.9 and 4.14 stable. Please apply to 4.4-stable. This patch adds error handling to avoid segfault situation, I've tweaked patch to use original print function of dev_info() instead of phy_attached_info() which is in commit 2220943a21e26d97d7fd8f83c004b947326b469d upstream. -- SZ Lin (林上智)
>From 194f912f0303146bffe8a1fd0d0c8a5b9208752c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rivshin <drivshin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 21:32:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] drivers: net: cpsw: fix segfault in case of bad phy-handle commit d733f7542ad47cf73e033c90cf55158587e1d060 upstream If an emac node has a phy-handle property that points to something which is not a phy, then a segmentation fault will occur when the interface is brought up. This is because while phy_connect() will return ERR_PTR() on failure, of_phy_connect() will return NULL. The common error check uses IS_ERR(), and so missed when of_phy_connect() fails. The NULL pointer is then dereferenced. Also, the common error message referenced slave->data->phy_id, which would be empty in the case of phy-handle. Instead, use the name of the device_node as a useful identifier. And in the phy_id case add the error code for completeness.
