[PATCH 3.12 02/83] net: mv643xx_eth: potential NULL dereference in probe()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit 6115c11fe1a5a636ac99fc823b00df4ff3c0674e

We assume that "mp->phy" can be NULL a couple lines before the
dereference.

Fixes: 1cce16d37d0f ('net: mv643xx_eth: Add missing phy_addr_set in DT mode')
