From 82c76aca81187b3d28a6fb3062f6916450ce955e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ioana Ciornei Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 20:38:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: Check against net_device being NULL 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().
