Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phylink: avoid oops during initialisation
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 11:53:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1kBc13-00032k-N3@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)

If we intend to use PCS operations, mac_pcs_get_state() will not be
implemented, so will be NULL. If we also intend to register the PCS
operations in mac_prepare() or mac_config(), then this leads to an
attempt to call NULL function pointer during phylink_start(). Avoid
this, but we must report the link is down.

Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

There are no users of the new split PCS support currently, so this
does not require backporting, but if people think it should have a
fixes tag, that would be:
