[PATCH 5.11 115/254] net/mlx5e: Set PTP channel pointer explicitly to NULL
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 29 2021 - 05:00:38 EST
From: Aya Levin <ayal@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 1c2cdf0b603a3b0c763288ad92e9f3f1555925cf ]
When closing the PTP channel, set its pointer explicitly to NULL. PTP
channel is opened on demand, the code verify the pointer validity before
access. Nullify it when closing the PTP channel to avoid unexpected
behavior.
Fixes: 145e5637d941 ("net/mlx5e: Add TX PTP port object support")
