I think, commit message need to be updated.
You not only fix log messages - you also fix the issue with
of_get_phy_mode(slave_node); which will not be called if phy-handle is used.


slave_data->phy_if = of_get_phy_mode(slave_node);

I'm not worry too much about duplicating dev_err() - it's always good to know
the reason of failure.

So, may be for of_phy_connect() [1]:
dev_err(priv->dev, "phy \"%s\" not found on slave %d\n",
slave->data->phy_node->full_name,
slave->slave_num);

and for phy_connect() [2]:
dev_err(priv->dev, "phy %s not found on slave %d, err %d\n",
slave->data->phy_id, slave->slave_num, PTR_ERR(slave->phy));

Mugunthan, any comments?

Your change will allow the code to reach this point in case of phy-handle.
