Subject: [PATCH v2] stmmac: fix check for phydev being open
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2015 23:50:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441659019-25522-1-git-send-email-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)

Current implementation via IS_ERR(phydev) may make no sense because
of_phy_attach() returns NULL on failure instead of error value.

Still for checking result of phy_connect() IS_ERR() is useful.

To address both situations we use combined IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check.

Changes compared to v1:
 * Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() instead of discrete checks for null and err
