[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 17/53] net: phy: Check against net_device being NULL

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@xxxxxxx>

[ 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().
