net: kernel BUG at drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:165!

kernel BUG at drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c:165!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

How?

mdiobus_alloc() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED.

mdiobus_register() sets bus->state = MDIOBUS_REGISTERED but then can
   fail (mdiobus_scan()) returning an error to the caller.

The caller aborts correctly with mdiobus_free() which does:
        if (bus->state == MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED) {
                kfree(bus);
                return;
        }

        BUG_ON(bus->state != MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED);
