Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/1] net: fec: avoid kernal crash by NULL pointer when no phy connection

On i.MX6SX sabreauto board, when there have no phy daughter board connection,
there have kernel crash by NULL pointer:

fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: could not attach to PHY
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000220
