From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxxxx> dsa_switch_shutdown() doesn't bring down any ports, but only disconnects slaves from master. Packets still come afterwards into master port and the ports are being polled for link status. This leads to crashes: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 CPU: 0 PID: 442 Comm: kworker/0:3 Tainted: G O 6.1.99+ #1 Workqueue: events_power_efficient phy_state_machine pc : lan9303_mdio_phy_read lr : lan9303_phy_read Call trace: lan9303_mdio_phy_read lan9303_phy_read dsa_slave_phy_read __mdiobus_read mdiobus_read genphy_update_link genphy_read_status phy_check_link_status phy_state_machine process_one_work worker_thread Call lan9303_remove() instead to really unregister all ports before zeroing drvdata and dsa_ptr.
