Coverity found out that commit cd490086 caused a possible NULL pointer dereference. This is due to the fact, that phyp_driver is NULL at the time of closing the socket, instead of connection_data, which kept the socket before the mentioned commit, could not be NULL. However, internal_socket is still the local socket that can be closed, even unconditionally, if we initialize it to -1.
