Subject: phylib: don't return NULL from get_phy_device()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b74766a0a0fe;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

phylib: don't return NULL from get_phy_device()

Arnd Bergmann asked that get_phy_device() returns either NULL or the error
value,  not both on error.  Do as he said, return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead
of NULL when the PHY ID registers read as  all ones.
