From: Claudiu Manoil <claudiu.manoil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 98a46d46d1bc983125b6ff9a0e831050a7011713 upstream. This fixes a seg fault on 'ethtool -A' entry if the interface is down. Obviously we need to have the phy device initialized / "connected" (see of_phy_connect()) to be able to advertise pause frame capabilities.
