According to your documentation for fwnode_get_phy_node(), it can't
return NULL.  So, use of IS_ERR_OR_NULL() is incorrect here.  Please
also eliminate the unnecessary parens to match the style in the rest
of this file.

If fwnode_get_phy_node() returns an error pointer, shouldn't you be
propagating that error here?

If this has any users, I think this should be an inline function in
phylink.h - it's just a helper after all.  If it doesn't then it should
just be dropped.

Thanks.
