fixed_phy_del() should also make sure that there is no dangling
link_update callback registered, even though this is not fatal, as it
checks whether the phydev is NULL, we should automatically unregister
one by doing something like: fixed_phy_set_link_update(phydev, NULL) for
robustness.

LGTM to me otherwise, thanks!
