These two patches are to fix the recent regressions raised when test the stmmac on some platforms due to broken MDIO/PHY management.
NOTE: these are the same reviewed patches sent for net.git (version 4). The patch #2 has been modified to solve a build problem on net-next; inside the stmmac_init_phy where there is: 869 if (priv->plat->is_fixed_link) 870 phydev->irq = PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT; Note: still on-going for net-next a debug session to solve a recent regression when use normal descriptors. This will be sent in a new patch set. V2: fix runtime problem due to NULL pointer.
