[PATCH 3/3] bcm63xx_enet: avoid uninitialized variable warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Jan 18 2017 - 10:04:35 EST


gcc-7 and probably earlier versions get confused by this function
and print a harmless warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.c: In function 'bcm_enet_open':
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bcm63xx_enet.c:1130:3: error: 'phydev' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This adds an initialization for the 'phydev' variable when it is unused
and changes the check to test for that NULL pointer to make it clear
that we always pass a valid pointer here.
