Subject: [PATCH 4.4 018/158] net: phy: Check against net_device being NULL

[ Upstream commit 82c76aca81187b3d28a6fb3062f6916450ce955e ]

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().
