Hi,

Adding a 2nd PHY to cpsw results in a NULL pointer dereference
as below. Fix by maintaining a reference to each PHY node in slave
struct instead of a single reference in the priv struct which was
overwritten by the 2nd PHY.

David, Is it possible to drop prev version of this patch from linux-next
- it breaks boot on many TI boards with -next.

v2 - Move allocation of memory for priv->slaves to inside cpsw_probe_dt so it
has data->slaves initialised first which is needed to calculate size

i++?

Ideally, the simplest way is to save phy_node in slave_data, but ...
(see comment below).

FYI, I have a patch [1] that does exactly that in my queue. Sorry
I've been busy and haven't had a chance to rebase/retest/resubmit
since Nicolas gave his Tested-By (and I missed Andrew's original
patch). I can probably steal some time to resurrect that quickly
if it's preferred, just let me know.

[1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg357772.html

Ah Ok. There are no user of cpsw_platform_data outside of net/ethernet/ti/,
so yes, looks like your patch 1 does exactly what's needed.

Given that the v1 of Andrew's patch is already in Dave's net tree, and
would obviously have many conflicts with mine, how should I proceed?
Since you already requested Dave revert that patch, should I just wait
for that to happen and then resubmit my series?

Dave, Does that sound good to you?


May be you can send revert + your patch 1 (only fix for this issue).


Dave, Does that sound good to you?
