fec: fix recursive locking of mii_lock
mii_discover_phy is only called by fec_enet_mii (via mip->mii_func). So &fep->mii_lock is already held and mii_discover_phy must not call mii_queue which locks &fep->mii_lock, too. This was noticed by lockdep: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.31-rc8-00038-g37d0892 #109 --------------------------------------------- swapper/1 is trying to acquire lock: (&fep->mii_lock){-.....}, at: [<c01569f8>] mii_queue+0x2c/0xcc but task is already holding lock: (&fep->mii_lock){-.....}, at: [<c0156328>] fec_enet_interrupt+0x78/0x460 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by swapper/1: #0: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0183534>] rtnl_lock+0x18/0x20 #1: (&fep->mii_lock){-.....}, at: [<c0156328>] fec_enet_interrupt+0x78/0x460 stack backtrace: Backtrace: [<c00226fc>] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x108) from [<c01eac14>] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) r6:c781d118 r5:c03e41d8 r4:00000001 [<c01eabfc>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<c005bae4>] (__lock_acquire+0x1a20/0x1a88) [<c005a0c4>] (__lock_acquire+0x0/0x1a88) from [<c005bbac>] (lock_acquire+0x60/0x74) [<c005bb4c>] (lock_acquire+0x0/0x74) from [<c01edda8>] (_spin_lock_irqsave+0x54/0x68) r7:60000093 r6:c01569f8 r5:c785e468 r4:00000000 [<c01edd54>] (_spin_lock_irqsave+0x0/0x68) from [<c01569f8>] (mii_queue+0x2c/0xcc) r7:c785e468 r6:c0156b24 r5:600a0000 r4:c785e000 [<c01569cc>] (mii_queue+0x0/0xcc) from [<c0156b78>] (mii_discover_phy+0x54/0xa8) r8:00000002 r7:00000032 r6:c785e000 r5:c785e360 r4:c785e000 [<c0156b24>] (mii_discover_phy+0x0/0xa8) from [<c0156354>] (fec_enet_interrupt+0xa4/0x460) r5:c785e360 r4:c077a170 [<c01562b0>] (fec_enet_interrupt+0x0/0x460) from [<c0066674>] (handle_IRQ_event+0x48/0x120) [<c006662c>] (handle_IRQ_event+0x0/0x120) from [<c0068438>] (handle_level_irq+0x94/0x11c) ...
