usbnet: smsc95xx: Avoid link settings race on interrupt reception
When a PHY interrupt is signaled, the SMSC LAN95xx driver updates the MAC full duplex mode and PHY flow control registers based on cached data in struct phy_device: smsc95xx_status() # raises EVENT_LINK_RESET usbnet_deferred_kevent() smsc95xx_link_reset() # uses cached data in phydev Simultaneously, phylib polls link status once per second and updates that cached data: phy_state_machine() phy_check_link_status() phy_read_status() lan87xx_read_status() genphy_read_status() # updates cached data in phydev If smsc95xx_link_reset() wins the race against genphy_read_status(), the registers may be updated based on stale data. E.g. if the link was previously down, phydev->duplex is set to DUPLEX_UNKNOWN and that's what smsc95xx_link_reset() will use, even though genphy_read_status() may update it to DUPLEX_FULL afterwards. PHY interrupts are currently only enabled on suspend to trigger wakeup, so the impact of the race is limited, but we're about to enable them perpetually. Avoid the race by delaying execution of smsc95xx_link_reset() until phy_state_machine() has done its job and calls back via smsc95xx_handle_link_change(). Signaling EVENT_LINK_RESET on wakeup is not necessary because phylib picks up link status changes through polling. So drop the declaration of a ->link_reset() callback. Note that the semicolon on a line by itself added in smsc95xx_status() is a placeholder for a function call which will be added in a subsequent commit. That function call will actually handle the INT_ENP_PHY_INT_ interrupt.
