Subject: [PATCH v2] Net: DSA: Fix checking for get_phy_flags function

The check for the presence or not of the optional switch function
get_phy_flags() called the function, rather than checked to see if it
is a NULL pointer. This causes a derefernce of a NULL pointer on all
switch chips except the sf2, the only switch to implement this call.

Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch>
Fixes: 6819563e646a ("net: dsa: allow switch drivers to specify phy_device::dev_flags")

v2: Don't truncate the Fixes subject.
