Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: dwmac-rk: No need to check the return value of the phy_power_on()

'phy_power_on' is a local scope one within the driver, since the return
value of the phy_power_on() function is always 0, checking its return
value is redundant.

the function name 'phy_power_on()' conflicts with the existing
phy_power_on() function in the PHY subsystem. a suitable alternative
name would be rk_phy_power_set(), particularly since when the second
argument is false, this function actually powers off the PHY
