That's so strange.
Vladimir was right that I was misreading what he said and also hadn't
noticed the break.
For me, his approach silences the warning with or without the cross
function DB. Also of_get_phy_mode() initializes interface on all paths
so checking for -EINVAL doesn't matter as far as this warning is
concerned.
