commit 0d5e2a82232605b337972fb2c7d0cbc46898aca1 upstream.
The UMAC_CMD register is written from different execution
contexts and has insufficient synchronization protections to
prevent possible corruption. Of particular concern are the
acceses from the phy_device delayed work context used by the
adjust_link call and the BH context that may be used by the
ndo_set_rx_mode call.
A spinlock is added to the driver to protect contended register
accesses (i.e. reg_lock) and it is used to synchronize accesses
to UMAC_CMD.

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.
