[PATCH] net: macb: NULL out phydev after removing mdio bus
From: Xander Huff
Date: Fri Oct 07 2016 - 11:14:56 EST
From: Nathan Sullivan <nathan.sullivan@xxxxxx>
To ensure the dev->phydev pointer is not used after becoming invalid in
mdiobus_unregister, set it to NULL. This happens when removing the macb
driver without first taking its interface down, since unregister_netdev
will end up calling macb_close.
