[PATCH] net: usb: lan78xx: don't modify phy_device state concurrently

From: Ivan T. Ivanov
Date: Wed Aug 04 2021 - 04:14:08 EST


Currently phy_device state could be left in inconsistent state shown
by following alert message[1]. This is because phy_read_status could
be called concurrently from lan78xx_delayedwork, phy_state_machine and
__ethtool_get_link. Fix this by making sure that phy_device state is
updated atomically.

[1] lan78xx 1-1.1.1:1.0 eth0: No phy led trigger registered for speed(-1)
