lan78xx: Connect phy early

When using wicked with a lan78xx device attached to the system, we
end up with ethtool commands issued on the device before an ifup
got issued. That lead to the following crash:

The culprit is quite simple: The driver tries to access the phy left and right,
but only actually has a working reference to it when the device is up.

The fix thus is quite simple too: Get a reference to the phy on probe already
and keep it even when the device is going down.

With this patch applied, I can successfully run wicked on my system and bring
the interface up and down as many times as I want, without getting NULL pointer
dereferences in between.
