[PATCH 5.1 049/371] net: phy: Check against net_device being NULL

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 24 2019 - 16:21:39 EST


[ Upstream commit 82c76aca81187b3d28a6fb3062f6916450ce955e ]

In general, we don't want MAC drivers calling phy_attach_direct with the
net_device being NULL. Add checks against this in all the functions
calling it: phy_attach() and phy_connect_direct().
