SubjectRe: [PATCH net-next v2 02/19] net: phy: add a shutdown procedure
Hello,

this patch became commit e2f016cf775129c050d6c79483073423db15c79a and is
contained in v5.11-rc1.

It broke wake-on-lan on my NAS (an ARM machine with an Armada 370 SoC,
armada-370-netgear-rn104.dts). The used phy driver is marvell.c. I only
report it now as I just upgraded that machine from Debian 11 (with
kernel 5.10.x) to Debian 12 (with kernel 6.1.x).

Commenting out phy_disable_interrupts(...) in v6.1.41's phy_shutdown()
fixes the problem for me.

I don't know how this should interact with wake-on-lan, but I would
expect that there is a way to fix this without reintroducing the problem
fixed by this change. However I cannot say if this needs fixing in the
generic phy code or the phy driver. Any hints?

I'd say the bootloader could handle that, knowing that for some machines
changing the bootloader isn't an option.

Best regards
Uwe
