[PATCH net v4 2/4] net: dsa: mxl-gsw1xx: fix order in .remove operation
From: Daniel Golle
Date: Mon Dec 08 2025 - 20:29:18 EST
The driver's .remove operation was calling gswip_disable_switch() which
clears the GSWIP_MDIO_GLOB_ENABLE bit before calling
dsa_unregister_switch() and thereby violating a Golden Rule of driver
development to always unpublish userspace interfaces before disabling
hardware, as pointed out by Russell King.
Fix this by relying in GSWIP_MDIO_GLOB_ENABLE being cleared by the
.teardown operation introduced by the previous commit
("net: dsa: lantiq_gswip: fix teardown order").
Fixes: 22335939ec907 ("net: dsa: add driver for MaxLinear GSW1xx switch family")
