From 7322967bc1bd97ac9c49ecea19e5a1f681ca27ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 20:36:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] phy: add proper phy struct device refcounting Take a refcount on the phy struct device when the phy device is attached to a network device, and drop it after it's detached. This ensures that a refcount is held on the phy device while the device is being used by a network device, thereby preventing the phy_device from being unexpectedly kfree()'d by phy_device_release().
