When using wicked with a lan78xx device attached to the system, we
end up with ethtool commands issued on the device before an ifup
got issued. That lead to the following crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000039c

The culprit is quite simple: The driver tries to access the phy left and right,
but only actually has a working reference to it when the device is up.
The fix thus is quite simple too: Get a reference to the phy on probe already
and keep it even when the device is going down.
With this patch applied, I can successfully run wicked on my system and bring
the interface up and down as many times as I want, without getting NULL pointer
dereferences in between.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
