mdio_bus_init() and phy_driver_register() both have error paths, and if those are ever hit, ethtool will have a stale pointer to the phy_ethtool_phy_ops stub structure, which references memory from a module that failed to load (phylib). It is probably hard to force an error in this code path even manually, but the error teardown path of phy_init() should be the same as phy_exit(), which is now simply not the case.
