Current implementation via IS_ERR(phydev) may make no sense because
of_phy_attach() returns NULL on failure instead of error value.

Still for checking result of phy_connect() IS_ERR() is useful.

To address both situations we use combined IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check.

Hm, in case of phydev == NULL, you're going to return 0 here... is that what you want?
