Kishon suggested it and I changed it on this rev...forgetting about the
error path below.

Yes, very correct...it's expected to always be a small positive integer
value or zero (when not populated as it's optional). I agree it should
go back to 'int' especially due to the negative value when GENERIC_PHY
isn't enabled.
