[PATCH net v4] lan743x: correctly handle chips with internal PHY

From: Sven Van Asbroeck

Commit 6f197fb63850 ("lan743x: Added fixed link and RGMII support")
assumes that chips with an internal PHY will never have a devicetree
entry. This is incorrect: even for these chips, a devicetree entry
can be useful e.g. to pass the mac address from bootloader to chip:

&pcie {
status = "okay";

host@0 {
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;

#address-cells = <3>;
#size-cells = <2>;

lan7430: ethernet@0 {
/* LAN7430 with internal PHY */
compatible = "microchip,lan743x";
status = "okay";
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
/* filled in by bootloader */
local-mac-address = [00 00 00 00 00 00];
};
};
};

If a devicetree entry is present, the driver will not attach the chip
to its internal phy, and the chip will be non-operational.

Fix by tweaking the phy connection algorithm:
- first try to connect to a phy specified in the devicetree
(could be 'real' phy, or just a 'fixed-link')
- if that doesn't succeed, try to connect to an internal phy, even
if the chip has a devnode

Tested on a LAN7430 with internal PHY. I cannot test a device using
fixed-link, as I do not have access to one.

v3 -> v4:
Andrew Lunn:
- create patch against davem/net tree
- add his Reviewed-by tag

v2 -> v3:
Andrew Lunn: make patch truly minimal.

v1 -> v2:
Andrew Lunn: keep patch minimal and correct, so keep open-coded version
of of_phy_get_and_connect().

Jakub Kicinski: fix e-mail address case.
