Why it's not bound on the first open (I'm guessing it's the first open
that has the ndev->phydev == NULL? I shouldn't have to guess).

If ndev->phydev sometimes is not-NULL on open, then that's a valid
state to be in. Why not make sure that we're always in that state 
and can depend on ndev->phydev rather than rummaging around for 
the phy_device instance.
