This is the 3rd revision of the patch fix for potential null pointer dereference
with lan743x card.
The simpliest way to reproduce: boot with bare lan743x and issue "ethtool ethN"
commant where ethN is the interface with lan743x card. Example:
$ sudo ethtool eth7
dmesg:

do not return from lan743x_ethtool_set_wol if netdev->phydev == NULL, just skip
the call of phy_ethtool_set_wol() instead.

v3:
in function lan743x_ethtool_set_wol:
use ternary operator instead of if-else sentence (review by Markus Elfring)

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.
