[ Upstream commit 0973a4dd79fe56a3beecfcff675ba4c01df0b0c1 ]
Since commit 35b5f6b1a82b ("PHYLIB: Locking fixes for PHY I/O potentially sleeping") phy_start_aneg() function utilizes a mutex to serialize changes to phy state, however the helper function is called in atomic context.
The bug can be reproduced by running "ethtool -r" command, the bug is reported if CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP build option is enabled.
