The reason: phy_driver structure for KSZ9031 phy has no .probe() callback
defined. As result, struct phy_device *phydev->priv pointer will not be
initializes (null).
This issue will affect also following phys:
KSZ8795, KSZ886X, KSZ8873MLL, KSZ9031, KSZ9021, KSZ8061, KS8737

Fix it by:
- adding .probe() = kszphy_probe() callback to KSZ9031, KSZ9021
phys. The kszphy_probe() can be re-used as it doesn't do any phy specific
settings.
- removing statistic callbacks from other phys (KSZ8795, KSZ886X,
KSZ8873MLL, KSZ8061, KS8737) as they doesn't have corresponding
statistic counters.

changes in v2:
- probe callback added to KSZ9031, KSZ9021
- statistic callback removed from KSZ8795, KSZ886X, KSZ8873MLL, KSZ8061, KS8737

Hi Grygorii

Whitespace changed like this should be in a separate patch, or not
made at all.


Oh. sry i've missed it. Will resend



Otherwise, thanks for looking at the datasheets and fixing this up.
