Looking at the console messages:

So this is a AX88178, and you would expect it to use
ax88178_bind(). That function never calls ax88772_init_phy() which is
what connects the PHY to the MAC, and sets priv->phydev.

static void ax88772_unbind(struct usbnet *dev, struct usb_interface *intf)
{
        struct asix_common_private *priv = dev->driver_priv;

        phy_disconnect(priv->phydev);

So this passes a NULL pointer.

static const struct driver_info ax88178_info = {
        .description = "ASIX AX88178 USB 2.0 Ethernet",
        .bind = ax88178_bind,
        .unbind = ax88772_unbind,
        .status = asix_status,

You cannot pair ax88178_bind with ax88772_unbind. Either a
ax88178_unbind is needed, or ax88772_unbind needs to check for a NULL
pointer.

Yes, this was fixed following patch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/drivers/net/usb/asix_devices.c?id=1406e8cb4b05fdc67692b1af2da39d7ca5278713
#syz fix: net: usb: asix: do not call phy_disconnect() for ax88178
