If an error occurs after calling phy_connect_direct(), phy_disconnect()
should be called, as already done in the remove function.

This is correct, but it is a little bit less obviously correct than it
could be. Nothing in mv643xx_eth_probe sets dev->phydev. It happens
deep down in the call chain of of_phy_connect(). Just using:

	if (phydev)
		phy_disconnect(phydev);

would be more obvious for this probe function.

But since it is correct, Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>
and i will leave you to decide if you want to change it.

In the (pd->phy_addr != MV643XX_ETH_PHY_NONE) case, phydev could be an 
error code.

So, we should do something like:
	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(phydev))
		phy_disconnect(phydev);

Agree?
