[PATCH 4.19 006/103] net: phy: phy driver features are mandatory

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jan 29 2019 - 06:43:23 EST


4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Camelia Groza <camelia.groza@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3e64cf7a435ed0500e3adaa8aada2272d3ae8abc ]

Since phy driver features became a link_mode bitmap, phy drivers that
don't have a list of features configured will cause the kernel to crash
when probed.

Prevent the phy driver from registering if the features field is missing.
