From: José Expósito <jose.exposito89@xxxxxxxxx> commit 5e761a2287234bc402ba7ef07129f5103bcd775c upstream. The function performs a check on the "phy" input parameter, however, it is used before the check. Initialize the "dev" variable after the sanity check to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference.
