net: smsc911x: Fix crash if loopback test fails
On certain hardware in certain situations loopback test fails and the driver gets removed. During mdiobus_unregister() instance of PHY driver gets disposed. But by this time it has already been started using phy_connect_direct(). PHY driver uses DELAYED_WORK in order to maintain its state. Attempting to dispose the driver without calling phy_disconnect() causes deallocation of DELAYED_WORK being active. This shortly causes a bad crash in timer code. The problem can be discovered by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE Signed-off-by: Pavel Fedin <p.fedin@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
