Subject: [PATCH 3.16 116/129] net: sh_eth: fix a missing check of
 of_get_phy_mode

3.16.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kangjie Lu <kjlu@....edu>

commit 035a14e71f27eefa50087963b94cbdb3580d08bf upstream.

of_get_phy_mode may fail and return a negative error code;
the fix checks the return value of of_get_phy_mode and
returns NULL of it fails.
