miiphy: define mii_devs with LIST_HEAD()
When enabling net console and console multiplexing, a boot crash was observed using mtk_eth driver with stdin/stdout set to "serial,nc" in persistent environment: > CPU: MediaTek MT7981 > Model: OpenWrt One > DRAM: 1 GiB > Core: 35 devices, 15 uclasses, devicetree: separate > spi-nand: spi_nand spi_nand@0: Winbond SPI NAND was found. > spi-nand: spi_nand spi_nand@0: 128 MiB, block size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64 > Loading Environment from UBI...

During the mtk_eth driver initialization, mdio_register() will be called, and miiphy_get_dev_by_name() will then be called. The miiphy_get_dev_by_name() will check the list "mii_devs" to see if the passed device name exists. However the mii_devs is defined without initialization: > static struct list_head mii_devs; and the actual initialization is done in the following chain: initr_net -> eth_initialize -> eth_common_init -> miiphy_init Since initr_net() hasn't be called, iterating over the mii_devs will access to physical address 0 (mii_devs.next == NULL) and will cause the crash. The fix is to define mii_devs using: > static LIST_HEAD(mii_devs); As the "current_mii" is defined as a static variable, it will always be NULL in board_r stage and initializing it will NULL is unnecessary. So the entire miiphy_init() can be remove. Signed-off-by: Weijie Gao <hackpascal@gmail.com>
