Subject: [PATCH 4.4 58/62] bnxt_en: Failure to update PHY is not fatal condition.

From: Michael Chan <mchan@...adcom.com>

commit ba41d46fe03223279054e58d570069fdc62fb768 upstream.

If we fail to update the PHY, we should print a warning and continue.
The current code to exit is buggy as it has not freed up the NIC
resources yet.
