From b3565f278a9babc00032292be489e7fbff4f48d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ezequiel Garcia Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 16:47:32 -0300 Subject: net: phy: Ensure the MDIO bus module is held This commit adds proper module_{get,put} to prevent the MDIO bus module from being unloaded while the phydev is connected. By doing so, we fix a kernel panic produced when a MDIO driver is removed, but the phydev that relies on it is attached and running.
