When the phy is disconnected, the parent pointer to the netdev it was attached to is set to NULL. The code then tries to suspend the phy, but dsa_slave_fixed_link_update needs the parent pointer to determine which switch the phy is connected to. So it dereferenced a NULL pointer. Check for this condition.
