[ Upstream commit1c613beaf8] mdio_bus_init() and phy_driver_register() both have error paths, and if those are ever hit, ethtool will have a stale pointer to the phy_ethtool_phy_ops stub structure, which references memory from a module that failed to load (phylib). It is probably hard to force an error in this code path even manually, but the error teardown path of phy_init() should be the same as phy_exit(), which is now simply not the case.

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.
