Not all functions that may return an error, and that error is ignored, must be fixed.
Here, if of_get_phy_mode() fails, dev->ports[port_num].interface remains at its default value (0, or PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA). It is a valid value to the rest of the driver at least in some cases (user ports connected to internal PHYs). And since device tree is ABI, you are proposing to break something that may have used to work, by making a previously well treated path now cause an error.
Sorry, NACK even as a matter of principle, do not even bother to resend this without a more careful analysis.
