Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/3] net: phy: Fix PHY module checks

The Generic PHY drivers gets assigned after we checked that the current PHY
driver is NULL, so we need to check a few things before we can safely
derference d->driver. Update phy_attach_direct() and phy_detach() accordingly
to be resilient to these cases.

Even though the Generic PHY driver defaults to phy_probe() which can hardly
fail at the moment, let's fix the label so we don't call phy_detach() on a
network device we have not attached yet.

Fixes: cafe8df8b9bc ("net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY driver")
