We may have found a bug in the nxp/lpc_eth.c driver. The function platform_set_drvdata() is called twice, the second time it is called, in lpc_mii_init(), it overwrites the struct net_device which should be at pdev->dev->driver_data with pldat->mii_bus. When trying to remove the driver, in lpc_eth_drv_remove(), platform_get_drvdata() will return the pldat->mii_bus pointer and try to use it as a struct net_device pointer. This causes unregister_netdev to segfault and generate a kernel BUG. Is this reproducible?

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
