Sriranjani P 593f555fbc net: stmmac: fix kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of mdio_bus_data
Fixed link does not need mdio bus and in that case mdio_bus_data will
not be allocated. Before using mdio_bus_data we should check for NULL.

This patch fix the kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of
mdio_bus_data when it is not allocated.

Without this patch we do see following kernel crash caused due to kernel
NULL pointer dereference.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
