lpc_eth: kernel BUG on remove
 
We may have found a bug in the nxp/lpc_eth.c driver. The function
platform_set_drvdata() is called twice, the second time it is called,
in lpc_mii_init(), it overwrites the struct net_device which should be
at pdev->dev->driver_data with pldat->mii_bus. When trying to remove
the driver, in lpc_eth_drv_remove(), platform_get_drvdata() will
return the pldat->mii_bus pointer and try to use it as a struct
net_device pointer. This causes unregister_netdev to segfault and
generate a kernel BUG. Is this reproducible?

README 
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.
