The function should return -ENXIO in that case; however, it returns
-ENODATA. Check for both.

Needs testing. RFC because I am not sure if the -ENODATA check is acceptable.

I'm not really sure about it myself. I can think of cases where it might cause 
problems. That said it does work in an ACPI environment with or without the 
_DSD block. If the DSD/property isn't set, obviously the device doesn't 
configure (but it doesn't crash either) so that is good and an overall 
improvement for ACPI.

Also, I personally might have hoisted the reg-io-width ahead of the 
device_get_phy_mode() and removed the phy checks, but I don't imagine there is 
much functional difference at this point.

I'll post a separate two-patch series which introduces -ENXIO as return value.
