Alexander Sverdlin 105d29fa8d net: dsa: lan9303: consequently nested-lock physical MDIO
commit 5a22fbcc10 upstream.

When LAN9303 is MDIO-connected two callchains exist into
mdio->bus->write():

1. switch ports 1&2 ("physical" PHYs):

virtual (switch-internal) MDIO bus (lan9303_switch_ops->phy_{read|write})->
  lan9303_mdio_phy_{read|write} -> mdiobus_{read|write}_nested

2. LAN9303 virtual PHY:

virtual MDIO bus (lan9303_phy_{read|write}) ->
  lan9303_virt_phy_reg_{read|write} -> regmap -> lan9303_mdio_{read|write}

If the latter functions just take
mutex_lock(&sw_dev->device->bus->mdio_lock) it triggers a LOCKDEP
false-positive splat. It's false-positive because the first
mdio_lock in the second callchain above belongs to virtual MDIO bus, the
second mdio_lock belongs to physical MDIO bus.

Consequent annotation in lan9303_mdio_{read|write} as nested lock
(similar to lan9303_mdio_phy_{read|write}, it's the same physical MDIO bus)
prevents the following splat:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
