[PATCH net v5 2/4] net: ethernet: oa_tc6: mdiobus->parent initialized with NULL
From: Selvamani Rajagopal via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Jun 11 2026 - 17:57:21 EST
From: Selvamani Rajagopal <Selvamani.Rajagopal@xxxxxxxxxx>
As "dev" pointer in oa_tc6 structure is never initialized,
mbiobus->parent was initialized with NULL. This change
fixes it by initializing it with device pointer of spi.
Fixes: 8f9bf857e43b ("net: ethernet: oa_tc6: implement internal PHY initialization")
