4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vladimir_zapols...@mentor.com>
[ Upstream commit 53a710b5044d8475faa6813000b6dd659400ef7b ]
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.
Fixes: dc19e4e5e02f ("sh: sh_eth: Add support ethtool")
