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 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

Don't need *else* after *return* and scripts/checkpatch.pl should have complained about that.
