Here's a call path I am not sure how to interpret (but doesn't look like
there's anything preventing it).
linkstate_get_sqi()
-> mutex_lock(&phydev->lock)
-> phydev->drv->get_sqi(phydev);
-> lan87xx_get_sqi()
-> access_ereg()
-> lan937x_dsp_workaround()
-> mutex_lock(&phydev->lock);
-> mutex_unlock(&phydev->lock);
-> mutex_unlock(&phydev->lock)
