6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wei Fang <wei.fang@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit c2e0c58b25a0a0c37ec643255558c5af4450c9f5 ]
There is a deadlock issue found in sungem driver, please refer to the
commit ac0a230f719b ("eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid
deadlocks"). The root cause of the issue is that netpoll is in atomic
context and disable_irq() is called by .ndo_poll_controller interface
of sungem driver, however, disable_irq() might sleep. After analyzing
the implementation of fec_poll_controller(), the fec driver should have
the same issue. Due to the fec driver uses NAPI for TX completions, the
.ndo_poll_controller is unnecessary to be implemented in the fec driver,
so fec_poll_controller() can be safely removed.
Fixes: 7f5c6addcdc0 ("net/fec: add poll controller function for fec nic")
