[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] net, phy, cpsw: fix NULL pointer deference

if phy_connect() did not find a phy, phydev is NULL and
following code in cpsw_phy_init() crashes. Fix this.

- changes for v2:
  - change commit message as it is a NULL pointer deference error
    not a unaligned access problem, as Tom Rini mentioned
  - fix more places in the driver with NULL pointer problem
- changes for v3:
  - add comment from Mugunthan V N:
    - priv NULL pointer checks not needed

Found on the dxr2 board with no phy connected to the board,
U-Boot crashes with:
