[PATCH net v8 3/4] net: phy: take the interrupt back from the bus on detach

[Aleksei Sviridkin]

A PHY whose own driver is a module on a filesystem that is not mounted
when the MAC probes gets the generic driver first. phy_probe() replaces
phydev->irq with PHY_POLL because that driver has no interrupt support,
nothing puts it back, and the PHY polls for the rest of the uptime once
its real driver takes over.

Take the number back in phy_detach(), from mdiobus->irq[], which is
where phy_device_create() seeded phydev->irq from and where the bus that
described the interrupt still holds it.

Do it before device_release_driver() rather than after. That call
returns with the mdio device bindable and the device lock dropped, so
from then on a phy_probe() on another CPU is the other writer of this
field. Ahead of it the generic driver is still bound, and a driver
registering meanwhile is turned away with -EBUSY before it can reach
phy_probe().

Fixes: 00db8189d984 ("This patch adds a PHY Abstraction Layer to the Linux Kernel, enabling ethernet drivers to remain as ignorant as is reasonable of the connected PHY's design and operation details.")

Notes:
    Found and measured on an MT7981B board with an MT7531 switch and an Airoha
    EN8811H behind lan4, whose interrupt the devicetree describes and whose
    driver is a module.
    
    The one condition arranged for the run is that the PHY driver module loads
    after the root filesystem rather than from the early boot list this
    distribution normally puts it in. The distribution's own late-PHY handling
    was also removed, that being the one patch which could have changed the
    outcome; upstream has nothing like it. The kernel is still a distribution
    one and its remaining patches to phylink and phy_device do run on these
    paths - none of them writes phydev->irq.
    
    DSA then sets the port up at 1.87 s, the generic driver is bound by hand,
    phy_probe() replaces the interrupt with PHY_POLL, and phylink rejects
    2500base-x against it:
    
      lan4 (uninitialized): validation of 2500base-x ... failed: -EINVAL
      lan4 (uninitialized): failed to connect to PHY: -EINVAL
    
    The real driver arrives between 13.4 and 13.6 s depending on the boot, and
    binds. phydev->irq then reads -1 without this patch and 15 with it, 15
    being what the devicetree gave that PHY. The three switch ports alongside
    read 79, 80 and 81 in both runs, so the reading distinguishes rather than
    printing one answer. The field has no sysfs attribute of its own, so it was
    read with a debug-only module parameter that walks the MDIO bus and prints
    it.
