From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 20e76d3d044d936998617f8acd7e77bebd9ca703 ] In case of error, the function mdiobus_get_phy() returns NULL pointer not ERR_PTR(). The IS_ERR() test in the return value check should be replaced with NULL test. Reported-by: Hulk Robot <hulkci@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
