This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

I do -- of_phy_connect() isn't called in this version, so the patch is totally useless.

===============

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.
