[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 270/273] net: phy: Avoid polling PHY with PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPTS

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Mon Mar 07 2016 - 18:01:12 EST


4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d5c3d84657db57bd23ecd58b97f1c99dd42a7b80 upstream.

Commit 2c7b49212a86 ("phy: fix the use of PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT") changed
a hunk in phy_state_machine() in the PHY_RUNNING case which was not
needed. The change essentially makes the PHY library treat PHY devices
with PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT to keep polling for the PHY device, even
though the intent is not to do it.

Fix this by reverting that specific hunk, which makes the PHY state
machine wait for state changes, and stay in the PHY_RUNNING state for as
long as needed.

Fixes: 2c7b49212a86 ("phy: fix the use of PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT")
