Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/4] net: bcmgenet: Fix return value check for fixed_phy_register()

The fixed_phy_register() function returns error pointers and never
returns NULL. Update the checks accordingly.

And it also returns -EPROBE_DEFER, -EINVAL and -EBUSY, etc, in addition to
-ENODEV, just return -ENODEV is not sensible, use PTR_ERR to
fix the issue.

Fixes: b0ba512e25d7 ("net: bcmgenet: enable driver to work without a device tree")

v2:
- Remove redundant NULL check and fix the return value.
- Update the commit title and message.
