[PATCH 1/1] net: fec: fix oops after transmit queue timeout

[George Joseph]

When a transmit queue timeout happens, dev_watchdog calls fec_timeout
which in turns schedules fec_enet_timeout_work.  fec_enet_timeout_work
uses container_of to get the private data structure (fep) then tries to
use fep->netdev.  Unfortunately, nobody ever set fep->netdev so the result
is a NULL pointer oops.

With fep->netdev set right after fep is allocated in fep_probe, the
drivers recovers nicely after the tx queue timeout.
