This is a strange way to fix the problem, presumably this PHY supports
fetching statistics, if that is the case it sounds like we would want to
sort of provide two probe function:

- one which is just allocating the PHY device's private structure so we
have enough room for statistics
- another one which is doing all the reference clock fetching and so on

By adding a NULL pointer check here, you'd be better off just removing
all the function pointers pertaining to ethtool statistics.
