phy: lynx-28g: reject probing on devices with unsupported OF nodes
It is possible to bind the lynx-28g driver to an arbitrary device with an OF node, using the driver_override mechanism that is available for the platform bus, and trigger a crash this way: $ echo 1ea0000.serdes > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/lynx-10g/unbind $ echo lynx-28g > /sys/bus/platform/devices/1ea0000.serdes/driver_override $ echo 1ea0000.serdes > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/lynx-28g/bind Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP Hardware name: LS1028A RDB Board (DT) pc : lynx_probe+0x118/0x4fc lr : lynx_probe+0x110/0x4fc Call trace: lynx_probe+0x118/0x4fc (P) lynx_28g_probe+0x54/0x7c platform_probe+0x68/0xa4 really_probe+0x14c/0x2ec __driver_probe_device+0xc8/0x170 device_driver_attach+0x58/0xa8 bind_store+0xd8/0x118 drv_attr_store+0x24/0x38 The crash is caused by the fact that of_device_get_match_data() returns NULL (the bound device has a different compatible string) and this is not checked. There was a previous attempt to avoid this in commit c9d80e861034 ("phy: lynx-28g: require an OF node to probe"), but the mechanism was not fully understood and it only covered the case where the driver was bound to a device with no OF node. The issue was found during Sashiko review. Elevated privilege is required to override the driver for a device, so the real life impact of the issue should not be very high.
