It is stopped with a phy_disconnect():

/**
 * phy_disconnect - disable interrupts, stop state machine, and detach a PHY
 *                  device
 * @phydev: target phy_device struct
 */
void phy_disconnect(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
        if (phydev->irq > 0)
                phy_stop_interrupts(phydev);

        phy_stop_machine(phydev);

        phydev->adjust_link = NULL;

        phy_detach(phydev);
}
