Check the platform data pointer before dereferencing it and error out of the
probe() method if it's NULL.

This has additional effect of preventing kernel oops with outdated platform data
containing zero PHY address instead (such as on SolutionEngine7710).

Then it needs to be resubmitted.

Any time a part of series is rejected or needs changes, it is entirely
dropped and no longer will I refer to it in patchwork.

To avoid any ambiguity, the submitted must then resubmit anythign he
wishes to be applied.

    David, could you please merge this patch? It has a value of its own, 
regardless of the device tree support in patch 2 (which got bloked).

WBR, Sergei
