Subject: [PATCH v2] net: stmmac: Fix signedness bug in stmmac_probe_config_dt()

The "plat->phy_interface" variable is an enum and in this context GCC
will treat it as an unsigned int so the error handling is never
triggered.

Fixes: b9f0b2f634c0 ("net: stmmac: platform: fix probe for ACPI devices")
