net: mdio: unexport __init-annotated mdio_bus_init()
[ Upstream commit 35b42dce619701f1300fb8498dae82c9bb1f0263 ] EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade. Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds. There are two ways to fix it: - Remove __init - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site, drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIG_PHYLIB is boolean) Fixes: 90eff9096c01 ("net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs") Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
