[PATCH] net: stmmac: synchronize stmmac_open and stmmac_dvr_probe
From: Kweh, Hock Leong
Date: Mon Dec 26 2016 - 22:40:44 EST
From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@xxxxxxxxx>
If kernel module stmmac driver being loaded after OS booted, there is a
race condition between stmmac_open() and stmmac_mdio_register(), which is
invoked inside stmmac_dvr_probe(), and the error is showed in dmesg log as
PHY not found and stmmac_open() failed:

The resolution used wait_for_completion_interruptible() to synchronize
stmmac_open() and stmmac_dvr_probe() to prevent the race condition
happening.
