From: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx> commit af1a02aa23c37045e6adfcf074cf7dbac167a403 upstream. There is a race condition where the PHY state machine can change members of the phydev structure at the same time userspace requests a change via ethtool. To prevent this, have phy_ethtool_ksettings_set take the PHY lock. Fixes: 2d55173e71b0 ("phy: add generic function to support ksetting support") Reported-by: Walter Stoll <Walter.Stoll@xxxxxxxxxx> Suggested-by: Walter Stoll <Walter.Stoll@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Walter Stoll <Walter.Stoll@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
