of_phy_find_device() is used to find the phy device associated with a
device node. It is expected the node is for a PHY device, but in fact
it could of been probed as a generic MDIO device. Ensure the device is
a PHY before returning it.

This is only 1/2 the fix. It will stop the NULL pointer dereference in
the mutex code, but the Ethernet device probe is likely to return an
error when it cannot find its PHY.
