Since the blamed commit, phy_ethtool_get_wol() and phy_ethtool_set_wol()
acquire phydev->lock, but the mscc phy driver implementations,
vsc85xx_wol_get() and vsc85xx_wol_set(), acquire the same lock as well,
resulting in a deadlock.
$ ip link set swp3 down

WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp3: Link is Down
--------------------------------------------
ip/375 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff3d7e82e987a8 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: vsc85xx_wol_get+0x2c/0xf4
but task is already holding lock:
ffff3d7e82e987a8 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: phy_ethtool_get_wol+0x3c/0x6c
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&dev->lock);
lock(&dev->lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation

Removing the mutex_lock(&phydev->lock) calls from the driver restores
the functionality.

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.
