[PATCH] net: dsa: avoid null pointer dereference on p->phy

From: Colin King
Date: Sat Sep 23 2017 - 12:57:48 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently p->phy is being null checked in several places to avoid
null pointer dereferences on p->phy, however, the final call
to phy_attached_info on p->phy when p->phy will perform a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by simply moving the call into
the previous code block that is only executed if p->phy is
not null.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1457034 ("Dereference after null check")

Fixes: 2220943a21e2 ("phy: Centralise print about attached phy")
