From: Sergej Bauer <sbauer@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ 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 dmesg: [ 103.510336] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000340 ... [ 103.510836] RIP: 0010:phy_ethtool_get_wol+0x5/0x30 [libphy] ...
