The code blindly assumed that that a PHY device was present causing a BadVA. In addition the driver should not fail to load incase no PHY was found. Instead we print the following line and continue with no attached PHY. etop: mdio probe failed Signed-off-by: John Crispin <blogic@xxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: David S.
