Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: altera_tse: fix init sequence to avoid races with register_netdev
Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2023 12:40:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230611104019.33793-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> (raw)

As reported here[1], the init sequence in altera_tse can be racy should
any operation on the registered netdev happen after netdev registration
but before phylink initialization.

Fix the registering order to avoid such races by making register_netdev
the last step of the probing sequence.

Fixes: fef2998203e1 ("net: altera: tse: convert to phylink")

This patch targets net-next as it fixes a commit that is in net-next
too.
