net: phy: Avoid NPD upon phy_detach() when driver is unbound
[ Upstream commit c2b727df7caa33876e7066bde090f40001b6d643 ] If we have unbound the PHY driver prior to calling phy_detach() (often via phy_disconnect()) then we can cause a NULL pointer de-reference accessing the driver owner member. The steps to reproduce are: echo unimac-mdio-0:01 > /sys/class/net/eth0/phydev/driver/unbind ip link set eth0 down Fixes: cafe8df8b9bc ("net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY driver") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
