drivers: phy: Add support for optional phys
Add devm_phy_optional_get and phy_optional_get, which should be used when the phy is optional. They does not return an error when the phy does not exist, rather they returns NULL, which is considered as a valid phy, but results in NOPs when used with the consumer API.

it. This framework provides the following APIs to get a reference to the PHY.

|

struct phy *phy_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
|

struct phy *phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);

struct phy *devm_phy_optional_get(struct device *dev, const char *string);
|

|

phy_get and devm_phy_get can be used to get the PHY. In the case of dt boot,
|
||||
the string arguments should contain the phy name as given in the dt data and
|
||||
in the case of non-dt boot, it should contain the label of the PHY.
|
||||
The only difference between the two APIs is that devm_phy_get associates the
|
||||
device with the PHY using devres on successful PHY get. On driver detach,
|
||||
release function is invoked on the the devres data and devres data is freed.

two functions will never return -ENODEV, but instead returns NULL when

the phy cannot be found.

It should be noted that NULL is a valid phy reference. All phy

consumer calls on the NULL phy become NOPs. That is the release calls,
