    net: phylink: Remove redundant netdev.phydev assignment · e31a6f90
    Richard Cochran 提交于
    As a part of working on MII time stamping infrastructure, I was trying
    to figure out how netdev->phydev gets assigned, and I stumbled across
    this.  Ever since the new phylink code came in, the field is assigned
    twice.
    
    The function, phylink_connect_phy(), calls
    
    	phy_attach_direct()
    	phylink_bringup_phy()
    
    and phy_attach_direct() sets
    
    	dev->phydev = phydev;
    
    but phylink_bringup_phy() then sets the same field again:
    
    	pl->netdev->phydev = phy;
    
    Similarly, the function, phylink_of_phy_connect(), calls
    
    	of_phy_attach()
    		phy_attach_direct()
    	phylink_bringup_phy()
    
    The removal code is also duplicated:
    
    phylink_disconnect_phy()
    	pl->netdev->phydev = NULL;
    	phy_disconnect()
    		phy_detach()
    			phydev->attached_dev->phydev = NULL;
    
    This patch removes the redundant assignments, restricting manipulation
    of the netdev.phydev field to phy_attach_direct() and phy_detach().
