lan743x: fix for potential NULL pointer dereference with bare card
[ Upstream commit e9e13b6adc338be1eb88db87bcb392696144bd02 ]
This is the 3rd revision of the patch fix for potential null pointer dereference
with lan743x card.
The simpliest way to reproduce: boot with bare lan743x and issue "ethtool ethN"
commant where ethN is the interface with lan743x card. Example:
$ sudo ethtool eth7

v2:
do not return from lan743x_ethtool_set_wol if netdev->phydev == NULL, just skip
the call of phy_ethtool_set_wol() instead.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/10/31/380
v3:
in function lan743x_ethtool_set_wol:
use ternary operator instead of if-else sentence (review by Markus Elfring)
return -ENETDOWN insted of -EIO (review by Andrew Lunn)
