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);
}
