From: Hariprasad Kelam <hkelam@marvell.com>
Upon physical link change, firmware reports to the kernel about the
change along with the details like speed, lmac_type_id, etc.
Kernel derives lmac_type based on lmac_type_id received from firmware.
In a few scenarios, firmware returns an invalid lmac_type_id, which
is resulting in below kernel panic. This patch adds the missing
validation of the lmac_type_id field.

You are keeping old lmac_type, which is out-of-sync now.
Why don't you do something like that?
if (linfo->lmac_type_id >= LMAC_MODE_MAX) {
strncpy(linfo->lmac_type, "Unknown", LMACTYPE_STR_LEN - 1);
return;

We will add the proposed change (Unknown). Since we need to know the firmware reported lmac type ID is proper or not, we will keep dev_err also.
