phy_attach_direct() ignores errors returned by phy_led_triggers_register(). I think that's OK, as LED triggers can be considered a non-critical feature. However, this causes problems later: - phy_led_trigger_change_speed() will access the array phy_device.phy_led_triggers, which has been freed in the error path of phy_led_triggers_register(), which may lead to a crash. - phy_led_triggers_unregister() will access the same array, leading to crashes during s2ram or poweroff, like: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ...

Note that the "No phy led trigger registered for speed" message will still be printed on link speed changes, which is a good cue that something went wrong with the LED triggers.
