From 37ccd92f55c6c6c23f2b4a7c8830b313b70da0ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Bonesio Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:10:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net/fec_mpc52xx: Fix kernel panic on FEC error The MDIO bus cannot be accessed at interrupt context, but on an FEC error, the fec_mpc52xx driver reset function also tries to reset the PHY. Since the error is detected at IRQ context, and the PHY functions try to sleep, the kernel ends up panicking. Resetting the PHY on an FEC error isn't even necessary. This patch solves the problem by removing the PHY reset entirely. Signed-off-by: John Bonesio Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Signed-off-by: David S.
