It is possible that phylib will call adjust_link before returning
from {,of_}phy_connect(), which may cause the following [very rare,
though] oops upon reopening the device:
 ...
To fix the issue, simply initialize the PHY's state to PHY_READY during
phy_attach(). This will ensure that phylib won't call adjust_link before
phy_start().
