Subject: phy: add proper phy struct device refcounting
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7322967bc1bd97ac9c49ecea19e5a1f681ca27ee;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

phy: add proper phy struct device refcounting

Take a refcount on the phy struct device when the phy device is attached
to a network device, and drop it after it's detached.  This ensures that
a refcount is held on the phy device while the device is being used by
a network device, thereby preventing the phy_device from being
unexpectedly kfree()'d by phy_device_release().
