Since commit2f1e8ea726("net: dsa: link interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"), DSA gained a requirement which it did not fulfill, which is to unlink itself from the DSA master at shutdown time. Since the Microchip sub-driver for KSZ8863 was introduced after the bad commit, it has never worked with DSA masters which decide to unregister their net_device on shutdown, effectively hanging the reboot process. To fix that, we need to call dsa_switch_shutdown. Since this driver expects the MDIO bus to be backed by mdio_bitbang, I don't think there is currently any MDIO bus driver which implements its ->shutdown by redirecting it to ->remove, but in any case, to be compatible with that pattern, it is necessary to implement an "if this then not that" scheme, to avoid ->remove and ->shutdown from being called both for the same struct device.

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.
