The change fixes sleep in atomic context bug, which is encountered every time when link settings are changed by ethtool. 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 that helper function is called in atomic context under a grabbed spinlock, because phy_start_aneg() is called by phy_ethtool_ksettings_set() and by replaced phy_ethtool_sset() helpers from phylib. Now duplex mode setting is enforced in sh_eth_adjust_link() only, also now RX/TX is disabled when link is put down or modifications to E-MAC registers ECMR and GECMR are expected for both cases of checked and ignored link status pin state from E-MAC interrupt handler. For reference the change is a partial rework of commit 1e1b812bbe10 ("sh_eth: fix handling of no LINK signal").

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
