Subject: [PATCH net] net: lan966x: check devm_of_phy_get() for -EDEFER_PROBE

At the moment, if devm_of_phy_get() returns an error the serdes
simply isn't set. While it is bad to ignore an error in general, there
is a particular bug that network isn't working if the serdes driver is
compiled as a module. In that case, devm_of_phy_get() returns
-EDEFER_PROBE and the error is silently ignored.

The serdes is optional, it is not there if the port is using RGMII, in
which case devm_of_phy_get() returns -ENODEV. Rearrange the error
handling so that -ENODEV will be handled but other error codes will
abort the probing.

Fixes: d28d6d2e37d1 ("net: lan966x: add port module support")
