Subject: Locking mv88e6xxx_reg_lock twice leads deadlock for 88E6176 switch

Hello, friends.

I have a device with Marvell 88E6176 switch. 
After 'mv88e6xxx: fix speed setting for CPU/DSA ports (cc1049ccee20)'commit was applied to
mainline kernel I faced with a problem that switch driver stuck at 'mv88e6xxx_probe' function.

I made some investigations and found that 'mv88e6xxx_reg_lock' called twice from the same thread which leads to deadlock.

I added logs to 'mv88e6xxx_reg_lock' and 'mv88e6xxx_reg_unlock' functions to see what happened.

So, first lock called from mv88e6xxx_setup:

static int mv88e6xxx_setup(struct dsa_switch *ds)
{
    ...

	if (mv88e6xxx_has_pvt(chip))
		ds->max_num_bridges = MV88E6XXX_MAX_PVT_SWITCHES -
				      ds->dst->last_switch - 1;

	mv88e6xxx_reg_lock(chip);

And second lock called from mv88e6352_phylink_get_caps (only for port 4):
static void mv88e6352_phylink_get_caps(struct mv88e6xxx_chip *chip, int port,
				       struct phylink_config *config)
{
    ...

	config->mac_capabilities = MAC_SYM_PAUSE | MAC_10 | MAC_100 |
				   MAC_1000FD;

	/* Port 4 supports automedia if the serdes is associated with it. */
	if (port == 4) {
        dump_stack(); // I added this to see where we came from
		mv88e6xxx_reg_lock(chip);


Here is kernel log with my debug output and call stack right before secondary lock:
