From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3af409ca278d4a8d50e91f9f7c4c33b175645cf3 ] The following call path suggests that calling unregister_netdev on an interface that is up will first bring it down. enetc_pf_remove -> unregister_netdev -> unregister_netdevice_queue -> unregister_netdevice_many -> dev_close_many -> __dev_close_many -> enetc_close -> enetc_stop -> phylink_stop However, enetc first destroys the phylink instance, then calls unregister_netdev. This is already dissimilar to the setup (and error path teardown path) from enetc_pf_probe, but more than that, it is buggy because it is invalid to call phylink_stop after phylink_destroy. So let's first unregister the netdev (and let the .ndo_stop events consume themselves), then destroy the phylink instance, then free the netdev.
