[PATCH] netdev/fec: fix ifconfig eth0 down hang issue (v4)

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/559065

v4:
 - don't touch suspend/resume functions in this patch
 - set fep->phy_dev = NULL in the fec_enet_mii_probe() entry

v3:
if fec_enet_mii_probe() fails, we should exit the open and resume functions
properly and give up further operations without a proper PHY connected.

v2:
Check fec_enet_mii_probe() return value directly, instead of fep->phy_dev

v1:
In ethernet connection open/close function, we need to use phy_connect
and phy_disconnect operation before we start/stop phy. Otherwise it will
cause system hang. Also suspend/resume needs the same fix.
