Subject: smsc9420: prevent BUG() if ethtool is called with interface down
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31.9~36
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d1bb4e684935fce3fc71bdeb6c1fc89af8e59bb;p=karo-tx-linux.git

smsc9420: prevent BUG() if ethtool is called with interface down

[ Upstream commit 6c53b1b15e222244358d3cbbefd2a13920faa352 ]

This patch fixes a null pointer dereference BUG() if ethtool is used on
an smsc9420 interface while it is down, because the phy_dev is only
allocated while the interface is up.
