Subject[PATCH 3.14 17/23] net/at91_ether: avoid NULL pointer dereference
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gilles Chanteperdrix <gilles.chanteperdrix@xenomai.org>

[ Upstream commit c293fb785bdda64d88f197e6758a3c16ae83e569 ]

The at91_ether driver calls macb_mii_init passing a 'struct macb'
structure whose tx_clk member is initialized to 0. However,
macb_handle_link_change() expects tx_clk to be the result of
a call to clk_get, and so IS_ERR(tx_clk) to be true if the clock
is invalid. This causes an oops when booting Linux 3.14 on the
csb637 board. The following changes avoids this.
