On the MDIO bus, we have PHYLIB devices and drivers, and we have non- PHYLIB devices and drivers. PHYLIB devices are MDIO devices that are wrapped with a struct phy_device. Trying to bind a MDIO device with a PHYLIB driver results in out-of- bounds accesses as we attempt to access struct phy_device members. So, let's prevent this by ensuring that the type of the MDIO device (indicated by the MDIO_DEVICE_FLAG_PHY flag) matches the type of the MDIO driver (indicated by the MDIO_DEVICE_IS_PHY flag.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
