I took some time looking into how to take mutex in phy core, here is what
I find:
phy_resume call phydrv->resume without take mutex.
if phy driver implement resume function, for example marvell_resume, then

static int marvell_resume(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
int err;

/* Resume the fiber mode first */
if (!(phydev->supported & SUPPORTED_FIBRE)) {
err = phy_write(phydev, MII_MARVELL_PHY_PAGE, MII_M1111_FIBER);
if (err < 0)
goto error;

/* With the page set, use the generic resume */
err = genphy_resume(phydev);
if (err < 0)
goto error;

/* Then, the copper link */
err = phy_write(phydev, MII_MARVELL_PHY_PAGE, MII_M1111_COPPER);
if (err < 0)
goto error;
}

the code above executes without holding a mutex expect genphy_resume

/* With the page set, use the generic resume */
return genphy_resume(phydev);

error:
phy_write(phydev, MII_MARVELL_PHY_PAGE, MII_M1111_COPPER);
return err;
}

So I think the correct way to hold a lock is in phy_* function, not in genphy_*,
and current genphy_resume and phy_resume is broken in this way.
Please let me know if I misunderstand the mutex taking in phy core.
