During testing on Armada 388 platforms, it was found with a certain
module configuration that it was possible to trigger a kernel oops
during the module load process, caused by the phylink resolver being
triggered for a currently disabled interface.
This problem was introduced by changing the way the SFP registration
works, which now can result in the sfp link down notification being
called during phylink_create().
Fixes: b5bfc21af5cb ("net: sfp: do not probe SFP module before we're attached")

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.
