Subject: [PATCH -next v3 2/2] smsc911x: Ignore error return from device_get_phy_mode()

Commit 62ee783bf1f8 ("smsc911x: Fix crash seen if neither ACPI nor OF is
configured or used") introduces an error check for the return value from
device_get_phy_mode() and bails out if there is an error. Unfortunately,
there are configurations where no phy is configured. Those configurations
now fail.

To fix the problem, accept error returns from device_get_phy_mode(),
and use the return value from device_property_read_u32() to determine
if there is a suitable firmware interface to read the configuration.

v2: Dropped RFC
    Removed check for -ENODATA
    Depends on patch 1/2
v3: Added Tony's Tested-by:

Tested with non-devicetree and devicetree configurations.
Should be tested with ACPI configuration.
