phy_stop() should only be called once the PHY was started. But it's
right that we don't have full control over it because misbehaving
drivers may call phy_stop() even if the PHY hasn't been started yet.

I think phy_error() and phy_stop() should be extended to set the state
to PHY_HALTED only if the PHY is in a started state, means:
don't touch the state if it's DOWN, READY, or HALTED.
In case of phy_error() it's more a precaution, because it's used within
phylib only and AFAICS it can be triggered from a started state only.

So yes, there is a theoretical issue. But as you wrote already, I think
there's a better way to deal with it.

For checking whether PHY is in a started state you could use the helper
which is being discussed here:
