The IS_ERR_OR_NULL(priv->clock) check inside sja1105_ptp_clock_unregister() is preventing cancel_delayed_work_sync from actually being run. Additionally, sja1105_ptp_clock_unregister() does not actually get run, when placed in sja1105_remove(). The DSA switch gets torn down, but the sja1105 module does not get unregistered. So sja1105_ptp_clock_unregister needs to be moved to sja1105_teardown, to be symmetrical with sja1105_ptp_clock_register which is called from the DSA sja1105_setup. It is strange to fix a "fixes" patch, but the probe failure can only be seen when the attached PHY does not respond to MDIO (issue which I can't pinpoint the reason to) and it goes away after I power-cycle the board. This time the patch was validated on a failing board, and the kernel panic from the fixed commit's message can no longer be seen.

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.
