Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: drop PHYLIB_LEDS knob

commit 4bb7aac70b5d ("net: phy: fix circular LEDS_CLASS dependencies")
solved a build failure, but introduces a new config knob with a default
'y' value: PHYLIB_LEDS.

The latter is against the current new config policy. The exception
was raised to allow the user to catch bad configurations without led
support.

Anyway the current definition of PHYLIB_LEDS does not fit the above
goal: if LEDS_CLASS is disabled, the new config will be available
only with PHYLIB disabled, too.

Instead of building a more complex and error-prone dependency definition
it looks simpler and more in line with the mentioned policies use
IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS) instead of the new symbol.

@Andrew, @Arnd: the rationale here is to avoid the new config knob=y,
which caused in the past a few complains from Linus. In this case I
think the raised exception is not valid, for the reason mentioned above.

If you have different preferences or better solutions to address that,
please voice them :)
