4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

NAK on the same grounds as the 3.x patches. of_phy_connect() isn't called yet. If the patch has been committed already, it's OK -- it should do no harm.

commit dfc50fcaad574e5c8c85cbc83eca1426b2413fa4 upstream.

Current check of phydev with IS_ERR(phydev) may make not much sense
because of_phy_connect() returns NULL on failure instead of error value.

Still for checking result of phy_connect() IS_ERR() makes perfect sense.

So let's use combined check IS_ERR_OR_NULL() that covers both cases.
