Probably not, this is kind of left over from before adding the sfp
phandle, but if I do remove it, and I can see the DSA slave network
device fail to initialize, likely because we destroy the PHYLINK instance.

AFAIR, when we talked about this with Russell, I did not see why we had
to comment out the following:

maybe you know?
