You can remove this "else if (ret)" branch and also:
	if (ret) {
               netdev_err(dev, "Could not attach PHY (%d)\n", ret);
               return ret;
	}

under "if (!dn || (ret && !macb_phy_handle_exists(dn)))" and have something
like:

static int macb_phylink_connect(struct macb *bp)
{
	struct net_device *dev = bp->dev;
	struct phy_device *phydev;
	struct device_node *dn = bp->pdev->dev.of_node;
	int ret;

	if (dn)
		ret = phylink_of_phy_connect(bp->phylink, dn, 0);

	if (!dn || (ret && !macb_phy_handle_exists(dn))) {
		phydev = phy_find_first(bp->mii_bus);
		if (!phydev) {
			netdev_err(dev, "no PHY found\n");
			return -ENXIO;
		}

		/* attach the mac to the phy */
		ret = phylink_connect_phy(bp->phylink, phydev);
	}

	if (ret) {
		netdev_err(dev, "Could not attach PHY (%d)\n", ret);
		return ret;
	}

	phylink_start(bp->phylink);

	return 0;
}
