[PATCH] pasemi_mac: ethtool get settings fix

Not all pasemi mac interfaces can have a phy attached. For example, XAUI has no phy and phydev is NULL for it. In this case ethtool get settings causes kernel crash. Fix it by returning -EOPNOTSUPP if there's no PHY attached. Signed-off-by: Valentine Barshak --- drivers/net/pasemi_mac_ethtool.c
