commit 5a22fbcc10f3f7d94c5d88afbbffa240a3677057 upstream.
When LAN9303 is MDIO-connected two callchains exist into
mdio->bus->write():
1. switch ports 1&2 ("physical" PHYs):
virtual (switch-internal) MDIO bus (lan9303_switch_ops->phy_{read|write})->
lan9303_mdio_phy_{read|write} -> mdiobus_{read|write}_nested
2. LAN9303 virtual PHY:
virtual MDIO bus (lan9303_phy_{read|write}) ->
lan9303_virt_phy_reg_{read|write} -> regmap -> lan9303_mdio_{read|write}
If the latter functions just take
mutex_lock(&sw_dev->device->bus->mdio_lock) it triggers a LOCKDEP
false-positive splat. It's false-positive because the first
mdio_lock in the second callchain above belongs to virtual MDIO bus, the
second mdio_lock belongs to physical MDIO bus.
Consequent annotation in lan9303_mdio_{read|write} as nested lock
(similar to lan9303_mdio_phy_{read|write}, it's the same physical MDIO bus)
prevents the following splat:

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.
