At the NIP in\nphy_link_topo_add_phy() is a netdev_need_ops_lock() check.\nThis was added by the following\ncommit ded86da4bbb7 (\"net: ethtool: relax ethnl_req_get_phydev() locking assertion\")\n\nThe bug shows up because at the time of_phy_connect() was called, the\nnetdev_ops were *not yet* determined. My fix is to move the code that\nsets netdev_ops+commac.ops+ethtool_ops further up as emac_init_config()\nderives that by looking at the device-tree and sets the required\ndev->phy_mode accordingly.\n\nDuring review, the Sashiko bot's AI stated that the commac assignment\nbecame a dead store. Great catch! To keep the original behavior as-is,\none mentioned option \"set dev->commac.ops = &emac_commac_ops only in\nthe non-gige case?\" sounded like a great plan. So the dev->commac.ops\nassignment for the non-gige-case moves into the else block.\n\nThis patch was tested on a WD MyBook Live (RGMII). the device now works again.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-23T12:03:02.79+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-23T12:05:38.754+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/emac/core.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"ded86da4bbb78cad74cecc368fee3ae3a296e2ca\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"c664cca8f622e66bea6a94279ae2611f1d1c0c67\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"ded86da4bbb78cad74cecc368fee3ae3a296e2ca\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7c9f391ec89cb621d7af375ace2eb9a6248e5b9d\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/emac/core.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7.2\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.9\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c664cca8f622e66bea6a94279ae2611f1d1c0c67","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c9f391ec89cb621d7af375ace2eb9a6248e5b9d"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98922","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-98922","identifiers":["CVE-2026-98922"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
