[PATCH net v3 4/4] net: phy: make an unbind wait for the attached consumer to detach

[Aleksei Sviridkin]

With attach serialised against unbind, the unbind that loses the race
waits for the attach and then removes the driver from a PHY that is now
attached. phylink uses phydev->drv right after the attach returns, and
phylib uses it again in later phy_start(), phy_stop() and state machine
runs.

Found on the same KN-1012 by repeating the wan race on a kernel with
the previous patch. The attach completed, the unbind then removed the
driver, and phylink faulted one frame up:

  Unable to handle kernel access to user memory outside uaccess
  routines at virtual address 00000000000000a0
  Comm: ip
  Call trace:
   phylink_bringup_phy+0x680/0x784 (P)
   phylink_fwnode_phy_connect+0x1b8/0x27c
   phylink_of_phy_connect+0x18/0x20
   mtk_open+0x38/0xb70

A DSA port gets there without any race, and did on the same board
before this series: unbinding the lan4 PHY driver returns at once, and
with lan4 up, tearing the switch down later faults in
_phy_state_machine(), called by phy_stop() from dsa_user_close().

The driver core gives a driver no way to refuse an unbind, so make
phy_remove() wait until phy_detach() has run. An unbind of a PHY in use
now blocks until the consumer lets go: ifdown for a MAC that connects
in ndo_open, the switch teardown for DSA, which connects at probe.

Deleting the PHY device through phy_device_remove(), as
mdiobus_unregister() does, keeps today's behaviour and does not wait,
and it releases an unbind that is already waiting. Some MAC drivers
unregister their MDIO bus with the PHY still attached and never detach
it (greth), so waiting there would hang their removal for good.

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.")
