The driver may sleep under a spinlock.
The function call paths are:
b44_set_link_ksettings (acquire the spinlock)
  phy_ethtool_ksettings_set
    phy_start_aneg
      phy_start_aneg_priv
        mutex_lock --> may sleep

b44_ioctl (acquire the spinlock)
  phy_mii_ioctl
    mdiobus_read
      mutex_lock --> may sleep

I do not find a good way to fix them, so I only report.
These possible bugs are found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and checked by my code review.


Thanks,
