#1565955 — [PATCH 0/2] net: phy: leds: Fix truncated LED trigger names and crashes

	Hi David,

I started seeing crashes during s2ram and poweroff on all my ARM boards,
like:

    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
    ...
    [<c04116d4>] (__list_del_entry_valid) from [<c05e8948>] (led_trigger_unregister+0x34/0xcc)
    [<c05e8948>] (led_trigger_unregister) from [<c05336c4>] (phy_led_triggers_unregister+0x28/0x34)
    [<c05336c4>] (phy_led_triggers_unregister) from [<c0531d44>] (phy_detach+0x30/0x74)
    [<c0531d44>] (phy_detach) from [<c0538bdc>] (sh_eth_close+0x64/0x9c)
    [<c0538bdc>] (sh_eth_close) from [<c04d4ce0>] (dpm_run_callback+0x48/0xc8)

or:

    list_del corruption. prev->next should be dede6540, but was 2e323931
    ------------[ cut here ]------------
    kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:52!
    ...
    [<c02f6d70>] (__list_del_entry_valid) from [<c0425168>] (led_trigger_unregister+0x34/0xcc)
    [<c0425168>] (led_trigger_unregister) from [<c03a05a0>] (phy_led_triggers_unregister+0x28/0x34)
    [<c03a05a0>] (phy_led_triggers_unregister) from [<c039ec04>] (phy_detach+0x30/0x74)
    [<c039ec04>] (phy_detach) from [<c03a4fc0>] (sh_eth_close+0x6c/0xa4)
    [<c03a4fc0>] (sh_eth_close) from [<c0483234>] (__dev_close_many+0xac/0xd0)

As the only clue was a kernel message like

    sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: No phy led trigger registered for speed(100)

I had to bisected this, leading to commit 4567d686f5c6d955 ("phy:
increase size of MII_BUS_ID_SIZE and bus_id").  Reverting that commit
fixed the issue.

More investigation revealed the crashes are due to the combination of
two things:
  - Truncated LED trigger names, leading to duplicate names, and
    registration failures,
  - Bad error handling in case of registration failures.

Both are fixed by this patch series.

Thanks!
