[RFC PATCH net] Revert "net: phy: Uniform PHY driver access"

[Vladimir Oltean]

This reverts commit 3ac8eed62596387214869319379c1fcba264d8c6.

I am not actually sure I follow the patch author's logic, because the
change does more than it says on the box, but this patch breaks
suspend/resume on NXP LS1028A and probably on any other systems which
have PHY devices with no driver bound, because the patch has removed the
"!phydev->drv" check without actually explaining why that is fine.

Examples why that is not fine:

- There is an MDIO bus with a PHY device that doesn't have a specific
  PHY driver loaded, because mdiobus_register() automatically creates a
  PHY device for it but there is no specific PHY driver in the system.
  Normally under those circumstances, the generic PHY driver will be
  bound lazily to it (at phy_attach_direct time), but since no one has
  attempted to connect to that PHY device (yet), it will not have a
  driver.

- There is an internal MDIO bus with PCS devices on it, for serial links
  such as SGMII. If the driver does not set bus->phy_mask = ~0 to
  prevent auto-scanning, PHY devices will get created for those PCSes
  too, and although those PHY devices are not used, they do not bother
  anybody either. PCS devices are usually managed in Linux as raw MDIO
  devices. Nonetheless, they do not have a PHY driver, nor does anybody
  attempt to connect to them (because they are not a PHY), and therefore
  this patch breaks that.

The stack trace is:
