[PATCH net v4 1/6] net: phy: split phy_probe() error paths
From: Xuanqiang Luo
Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 03:04:22 EST
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@xxxxxxxxxx>
phy_probe() uses one cleanup path for failures at every initialization
stage. This runs cleanup for resources that have not been initialized.
Split the cleanup by initialization stage so each failure path unwinds
only the resources that may have been initialized.
Unregister LED triggers before releasing the SFP upstream and ports,
because the LED triggers are initialized after those resources and must
be unwound first.
