sh_eth: Fix ethtool operation crash when net device is down
The driver connects and disconnects the PHY device whenever the net device is brought up and down. The ethtool get_settings, set_settings and nway_reset operations will dereference a null or dangling pointer if called while it is down. I think it would be preferable to keep the PHY connected, but there may be good reasons not to. As an immediate fix for this bug: - Set the phydev pointer to NULL after disconnecting the PHY - Change those three operations to return -ENODEV while the PHY is not connected Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.
