Some PHY drivers like the generic one do not provide a read_status
callback on their own but rely on genphy_read_status being called
directly.

With the current code, this results in a NULL function pointer call.
Call genphy_read_status instead when there is no specific callback.

You would want to use phy_read_status() which encapsulates that check as
well as checks that the phy_drv pointer is not NULL.

Well, this driver is a bit different and our priv->phy_drv != phydev-

drv, so we can't use the helper directly. I should probably have

mentionned it in the commit message, sorry!

As I was mentionning to Andrew in the initial submission of this patch,
this driver is a bit unusual since it represents a GMII to RGMII
bridge, so it's not actually a PHY driver on its own -- it just sticks
itself in between the actual PHY and the MAC.

Cheers and thanks for the review,

Paul
