Is upstream ok?Yes, upstream is OK.Exact same issue on 6.1 not just on Raspberry Pi chips but also on ARCH_BRCMSTB systems as well that also make use of the GENET driver.Doug and I will take a look and provide an updated set of fixes, meanwhile, I would recommend dropping all of Doug's patches for now until we can post a revised series and/or missing dependencies.
OK, I think I see the problem. The upstream patch was applied to the wrong context. In upstream, the critical section is added to bcmgenet_mii_config() which did not run with the phy_device::mutex_lock held before, and that was the race that we are trying to close. In linux-stable-rc/linux-6.1.y however the context somehow resolved to applying the critical section to the bcmgenet_mac_config() section where we are already running with phy_device::lock being held by virtue of the PHY library running our bcmgenet_mac_config() callback.
The corrected incremental diff would look like this:diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmmii.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmmii.c

We could, and should consider taking

RGMII_LINK upon link down") as a prerequisite as well to provide the
right context while applying d85cf67a339685beae1d0aee27b7f61da95455be
("net: bcmgenet: synchronize EXT_RGMII_OOB_CTRL access")
Mark, can you try that, too? -- Florian
