      net: dsa: Check return value of phy_connect_direct() · 4078b76c
      Florian Fainelli authored
      We need to check the return value of phy_connect_direct() in
      dsa_slave_phy_connect() otherwise we may be continuing the
      initialization of a slave network device with a PHY that already
      attached somewhere else and which will soon be in error because the PHY
      device is in error.
      
      The conditions for such an error to occur are that we have a port of our
      switch that is not disabled, and has the same port number as a PHY
      address (say both 5) that can be probed using the DSA slave MII bus. We
      end-up having this slave network device find a PHY at the same address
      as our port number, and we try to attach to it.
      
      A slave network (e.g: port 0) has already attached to our PHY device,
      and we try to re-attach it with a different network device, but since we
      ignore the error we would end-up initializating incorrect device
      references by the time the slave network interface is opened.
      
      The code has been (re)organized several times, making it hard to provide
      an exact Fixes tag, this is a bugfix nonetheless.
