net: phy: leds: Fix truncated LED trigger names and crashes
I started seeing crashes during s2ram and poweroff on all my ARM boards,
like:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

As the only clue was a kernel message like
sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: No phy led trigger registered for speed(100)
I had to bisected this, leading to commit 4567d686f5c6d955 ("phy:
increase size of MII_BUS_ID_SIZE and bus_id"). Reverting that commit
fixed the issue.
More investigation revealed the crashes are due to the combination of
two things:
- Truncated LED trigger names, leading to duplicate names, and
registration failures,
- Bad error handling in case of registration failures.
Both are fixed by this patch series.
Changes compared to v1:
- Add Reviewed-by,
- New patch "net: phy: leds: Break dependency of phy.h on
phy_led_triggers.h",
- Drop moving the include of <linux/phy_led_triggers.h>, as
<linux/phy.h> no longer includes it,
- #include <linux/phy.h> from <linux/phy_led_triggers.h>.
