+Subject: net: phylink: avoid resolving link state too early
+
+From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
+
+commit 87454b6edc1b0143fdb3d9853285477e95af74a4 upstream.
+
+During testing on Armada 388 platforms, it was found with a certain
+module configuration that it was possible to trigger a kernel oops
+during the module load process, caused by the phylink resolver being
+triggered for a currently disabled interface.
+
+This problem was introduced by changing the way the SFP registration
+works, which now can result in the sfp link down notification being
+called during phylink_create().
+
+Fixes: b5bfc21af5cb ("net: sfp: do not probe SFP module before we're attached")
