Current check of phydev with IS_ERR(phydev) may make not much sense because of_phy_connect() returns NULL on failure instead of error value.
Still for checking result of phy_connect() IS_ERR() makes perfect sense.
So let's use combined check IS_ERR_OR_NULL() that covers both cases.

Changes compared to v3: * Remove "else" branch after "return" as suggested by Sergei.
Changes compared to v2: * Updated commit message with mention of of_phy_connect() instead of of_phy_attach(). * Return ENODEV in case of of_phy_connect() failure
Changes compared to v1: * Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() instead of discrete checks for null and err
