The logic was learned from the function of stmmac_probe_config_dt, and it normally
save the phy handle to those two members: phy_node and phylink_node. But seems
checking phy_node is enough here, right?

        plat->phy_node = of_parse_phandle(np, "phy-handle", 0);

        /* PHYLINK automatically parses the phy-handle property */
        plat->phylink_node = np;

Yes,  the above line of code passes the parent node to phylink_node.
