commit 7b9a88a390dacb37b051a7b09b9a08f546edf5eb upstream.

The PHY library does not deal very well with bind and unbind events. The first
thing we would see is that we were not properly canceling the PHY state machine
workqueue, so we would be crashing while dereferencing phydev->drv since there
is no driver attached anymore.
