3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b394745df2d9d4c30bf1bcc55773bec6f3bc7c67 ] After the call to phy_init_hw failed in phy_attach_direct, phy_detach is called to detach the phy device from its network device. If the attached driver is a generic phy driver, this also detaches the driver. Subsequently phy_resume is called, which assumes without checking that a driver is attached to the device. This will result in a crash such as Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xffffffffffffff90 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000003a0e18 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ...
