Julian Margetson reported a panic on his SAM460EX with Kernel 4.11-rc1: | Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000014 | Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] | PREEMPT | Canyonlands | Modules linked in: | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted [...] | task: ea838000 task.stack: ea836000 | NIP: c0599f5c LR: c0599dd8 CTR: 00000000 | REGS: ea837c80 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted [...] | MSR: 00029000 <CE,EE,ME> | CR: 24371242 XER: 20000000 | DEAR: 00000014 ESR: 00000000 | GPR00: c0599ce8 ea837d30 ea838000 c0e52dcc c0d56ffb [...] | NIP [c0599f5c] emac_probe+0xfb4/0x1304 | LR [c0599dd8] emac_probe+0xe30/0x1304 | Call Trace: | [ea837d30] [c0599ce8] emac_probe+0xd40/0x1304 (unreliable) | [ea837d80] [c0533504] platform_drv_probe+0x48/0x90 | [ea837da0] [c0531c14] driver_probe_device+0x15c/0x2c4 | [ea837dd0] [c0531e04] __driver_attach+0x88/0xb0 | ---[ end trace ... ]--- The problem is caused by emac_dt_phy_probe() returing success (0) for existing device-trees configurations that do not specify a "phy-handle" property. This caused the code to skip the existing phy probe and setup. Which led to essential phy related data-structures being uninitialized. This patch also removes the unused variable in emac_dt_phy_connect().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
