Subject: [PATCH net] net: ti: icssg_prueth: Fix NULL pointer dereference in prueth_probe()

In the prueth_probe() function, if one of the calls to emac_phy_connect()
fails due to of_phy_connect() returning NULL, then the subsequent call to
phy_attached_info() will dereference a NULL pointer.

Check the return code of emac_phy_connect and fail cleanly if there is an
error.

Hello everyone,

There is a possible NULL pointer dereference in the prueth_probe() function of
the icssg_prueth driver. I discovered this while testing a platform with one
PRUETH MAC enabled out of the two available.

These are the requirements to reproduce the bug:

prueth_probe() is called
either eth0_node or eth1_node is not NULL
in emac_phy_connect: of_phy_connect() returns NULL

Then, the following leads to the NULL pointer dereference:

prueth->emac[PRUETH_MAC0]->ndev->phydev is set to NULL
prueth->emac[PRUETH_MAC0]->ndev->phydev is passed to phy_attached_info()
-> phy_attached_print() dereferences phydev which is NULL

This series provides a fix by checking the return code of emac_phy_connect().

Best Regards,

Romain

For Networking patches, please consider seeding the CC
list using ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl this.patch.
I've added the people who seemed to be missing.

The patch itself looks good to me.
