This is a left-over from when we needed to set phydev->dev_flags, but
this is no longer necessary although of_phy_connect() kept the
argument. Setting phydev->dev_flags should be done before calling
phy_start(), so far we only have a two users in-tree: tg3.c and some
mach-pxa code doing that.

Sounds like this could be moved to of_phy_connect(), although not
necessarily as part of this patchset, also, we would need to update
the callers, but this would be more consistent.
