Initially the phy_bus_name was added to manipulate the
driver name but it was recently just used to manage the
fixed-link and then to take some decision at run-time.
So the patch uses the is_pseudo_fixed_link and removes
the phy_bus_name variable not necessary anymore.

The driver can manage the mdio registration by using phy-handle,
dwmac-mdio and own parameter e.g. snps,phy-addr.
This patch takes care about all these possible configurations
and fixes the mdio registration in case of there is a real
transceiver or a switch (that needs to be managed by using
fixed-link).

due to problems on GeekBox and Banana Pi M1 board when

Same can be triggered with PROVE_RCU (+ PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY) enabled
from tun_attach_filter() when user space calls ioctl(tun_fd, TUN{ATTACH,
DETACH}FILTER, ...) for adding/removing a BPF filter on tap devices.

Since the fix in f91ff5b9ff52 ("net: sk_{detach|attach}_filter() rcu
fixes") sk_attach_filter()/sk_detach_filter() now dereferences the
filter with rcu_dereference_protected(), checking whether socket lock
is held in control path.

Since its introduction in 994051625981 ("tun: socket filter support"),
tap filters are managed under RTNL lock from __tun_chr_ioctl(). Thus the
sock_owned_by_user(sk) doesn't apply in this specific case and therefore
triggers the false positive.

Extend the BPF API with __sk_attach_filter()/__sk_detach_filter() pair
that is used by tap filters and pass in lockdep_rtnl_is_held() for the
rcu_dereference_protected() checks instead.

Same can be triggered with PROVE_RCU (+ PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY) enabled
from tun_attach_filter() when user space calls ioctl(tun_fd, TUN{ATTACH,
DETACH}FILTER, ...) for adding/removing a BPF filter on tap devices.

Since the fix in f91ff5b9ff52 ("net: sk_{detach|attach}_filter() rcu
fixes") sk_attach_filter()/sk_detach_filter() now dereferences the
filter with rcu_dereference_protected(), checking whether socket lock
is held in control path.

Since its introduction in 994051625981 ("tun: socket filter support"),
tap filters are managed under RTNL lock from __tun_chr_ioctl(). Thus the
sock_owned_by_user(sk) doesn't apply in this specific case and therefore
triggers the false positive.

Extend the BPF API with __sk_attach_filter()/__sk_detach_filter() pair
that is used by tap filters and pass in lockdep_rtnl_is_held() for the
rcu_dereference_protected() checks instead.

<title>locking/atomic, sched: Unexport fetch_or()</title>

This patch functionally reverts:

  5fd7a09cfb8c ("atomic: Export fetch_or()")

During the merge Linus observed that the generic version of fetch_or()
was messy:

  " This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
    internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it. "

  e23604edac2a Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Now that we have introduced atomic_fetch_or(), fetch_or() is only used
by the scheduler in order to deal with thread_info flags which type
can vary across architectures.

Lets confine fetch_or() back to the scheduler so that we encourage
future users to use the more robust and well typed atomic_t version
instead.

While at it, fetch_or() gets robustified, pasting improvements from a
previous patch by Ingo Molnar that avoids needless expression
re-evaluations in the loop.

<title>timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_t</title>

The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the
type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it.

But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use
atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our
tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from
possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.

This is deemed to replace the type generic fetch_or() which brings a lot
of issues such as macro induced block variable aliasing and sloppy types.
Not to mention fetch_or() doesn't refer to any namespace, adding even
more confusion.

So lets provide an atomic_t version. Current and next users of fetch_or()
are thus encouraged to use atomic_t.
