Subject: [PATCH net] net: dsa: Do not override PHY interface if already configured

In case we need to divert reads/writes using the slave MII bus, we may have
already fetched a valid PHY interface property from Device Tree, and that
mode is used by the PHY driver to make configuration decisions.

If we could not fetch the "phy-mode" property, we will assign p->phy_interface
to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, such that we can actually check for that condition as
to whether or not we should override the interface value.

Fixes: 19334920eaf7 ("net: dsa: Set valid phy interface type")

Hi Guenter,

Could you verify this does not break what you were trying to fix with your change?
I am fairly confident this will not because for "PHYs" built-into the switch port
we will not be able to fetch a "phy-mode" property from DT, so we will use
PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA, but here, we will re-assign them to PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_GMII
as before.

Thanks!
