    sfp: fix oops with ethtool -m · 126d6848
    Russell King authored
    If a network interface is created prior to the SFP socket being
    available, ethtool can request module information.  This unfortunately
    leads to an oops:
    
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
    pgd = (ptrval)
    [00000008] *pgd=7c400831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000
    Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] SMP ARM
    Modules linked in:
    CPU: 0 PID: 1480 Comm: ethtool Not tainted 4.19.0-rc3 #138
    Hardware name: Broadcom Northstar Plus SoC
    PC is at sfp_get_module_info+0x8/0x10
    LR is at dev_ethtool+0x218c/0x2afc
    
    Fix this by not filling in the network device's SFP bus pointer until
    SFP is fully bound, thereby avoiding the core calling into the SFP bus
    code.
    
    Fixes: ce0aa27f ("sfp: add sfp-bus to bridge between network devices and sfp cages")
