Vladimir Oltean da1818adba net: phy: prevent stale pointer dereference in phy_init() 
[ Upstream commit 1c613beaf8 ]

mdio_bus_init() and phy_driver_register() both have error paths, and if
those are ever hit, ethtool will have a stale pointer to the
phy_ethtool_phy_ops stub structure, which references memory from a
module that failed to load (phylib).

It is probably hard to force an error in this code path even manually,
but the error teardown path of phy_init() should be the same as
phy_exit(), which is now simply not the case.

Fixes: 55d8f053ce ("net: phy: Register ethtool PHY operations")

README 

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.
