In the net core, the struct net_device_ops -> ndo_set_rx_mode()
callback is called with the dev->addr_list_lock spinlock held.
However, this driver's ndo_set_rx_mode callback eventually calls
lan743x_dp_write(), which acquires a mutex. Mutex acquisition
may sleep, and this is not allowed when holding a spinlock.
Fix by removing the dp_lock mutex entirely. Its purpose is to
prevent concurrent accesses to the data port. No concurrent
accesses are possible, because the dev->addr_list_lock
spinlock in the core only lets through one thread at a time.

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.
