[PATCH] mdio_bus: add NULL check to mdiobus_read/mdiobus_write

[Ahmad Fatoum]

These functions shouldn't be called with a NULL pointer as argument in
the first place, but this happened at least twice so far[1][2], because
drivers weren't tested in fixed-link setups without PHYs.

To improve user experience, let's return -EIO instead of crashing
outright. The proper fix is still to adapt these drivers, so they
do not try to access non-existent PHYs.

[1]: commit 6269556397 ("net: eqos: let phy_resume handle fixed link phys")
