Subject: [PATCH 4.4 68/70] drivers: net: cpsw: fix segfault in case of bad phy-handle

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Rivshin <drivshin@...worx.com>

commit d733f7542ad47cf73e033c90cf55158587e1d060 upstream.

If an emac node has a phy-handle property that points to something
which is not a phy, then a segmentation fault will occur when the
interface is brought up. This is because while phy_connect() will
return ERR_PTR() on failure, of_phy_connect() will return NULL.
The common error check uses IS_ERR(), and so missed when
of_phy_connect() fails. The NULL pointer is then dereferenced.

Also, the common error message referenced slave->data->phy_id,
which would be empty in the case of phy-handle. Instead, use the
name of the device_node as a useful identifier. And in the phy_id
case add the error code for completeness.

Fixes: 9e42f715264f ("drivers: net: cpsw: add phy-handle parsing")
