[PATCH 2/2] net: phy: Fix race conditions in the driver

From: Kedareswara rao Appana
Date: Fri Aug 19 2016 - 08:50:02 EST


This patch fixes the below race conditions in the driver.
---> Fix Opps after unload the driver as a module
---> Use spin locks where relevant.
---> Take reference on the external phy to prevent issues
when phy driver is unloaded.
