Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: remove redundant dependency on NETDEVICES
 for PHYLINK and PHYLIB

drivers/net/phy/Kconfig is included from drivers/net/Kconfig in an
"if NETDEVICES" section. Therefore we don't have to duplicate the
dependency here. And if e.g. PHYLINK is selected somewhere, then the
dependency is ignored anyway (see note in Kconfig help).
