[PATCH] [RFC] net: phy: Fix reboot crash if CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set

Wolfram reports that his R-Car H2-based Lager board can no longer be
rebooted in v5.11-rc1, as it crashes with an imprecise external abort.
The issue can be reproduced on other boards (e.g. Koelsch with R-Car
M2-W) too, if CONFIG_IP_PNP is disabled:

Calling phy_disable_interrupts() unconditionally means that the PHY
registers may be accessed while the device is suspended, causing
undefined behavior, which may crash the system.

Fix this by calling phy_disable_interrupts() only when the PHY has been
started.

Marked RFC as I do not know if this change breaks the use case fixed by
the faulty commit. Alternatively, the device may have to be started
explicitly first.
