Subject: [PATCH 03/17] net: phy: Attach generic PHY drivers through the driver core
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 13:42:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105-device-trust-core-v1-3-1e536825b4eb@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105-device-trust-core-v1-0-1e536825b4eb@nvidia.com>
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>
The generic PHY fallback probes directly before publishing its binding,
bypassing driver-core admission and supplier checks.
Attach through the driver core so admission precedes functional setup.
Callers hold RTNL, which a concurrent bind of a specific driver may wait
for with the device lock held, so for this flow let's add
device_driver_try_attach() so the attachment never waits for that lock.
