Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: swphy: Only warn once for unknown speed

swphy_read_reg is called quite frequently during normal operation. If an
invalid speed is used for state, then it can turn dmesg into a firehose.
Although the first warn will likely contain a backtrace for the
offending driver, later warnings will usually just contain a backtrace
from the phy state machine. Just warn once.
