3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

   NAK on the same grounds as the 3.10 patch.

From: Alexey Brodkin <alexey.brod...@synopsys.com>

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.

If you really read the change log and compare it with the code, it's obviousl that the patch is not needed.


-       if (IS_ERR(phydev)) {
+       if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(phydev)) {
                pr_err("%s: Could not attach to PHY\n", dev->name);
