Nope, you don't.

     rc = of_property_read_u8(of_node, led, &led_mode);

If rc indicates an error, led_mode is not touched. Read the
documentation for this function. So you can simplifiy the code:

	led_mode = default_mode;
	err = of_property_read_u8(of_node, led, &led_mode);
	if (!err && (led_mode > 15 || led_mode == 7) | (led_mode == 11) {
             phydev_err(phydev, "DT %s invalid\n", led);
             return -EINVAL;
	}
	return led_mode;
