From: Andrew Lunn andrew@lunn.ch Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2021 21:48:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] phy: phy_ethtool_ksettings_get: Lock the phy for consistency
The PHY structure should be locked while copying information out if it, otherwise there is no guarantee of self consistency. Without the lock the PHY state machine could be updating the structure.
