This reverts commit 62469c7600 ("net: ethernet: bcmgenet: use phydev
from struct net_device") because it causes GENETv1/2/3 adapters to
expose the following behavior after an ifconfig down/up sequence:
PING fainelli-linux (10.112.156.244): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.352 ms
64 bytes from 10.112.156.244: seq=1 ttl=61 time=1.472 ms (DUP!)

This was previously fixed by commit 5dbebbb44a ("net: bcmgenet:
Software reset EPHY after power on") but the commit we are reverting was
essentially making this previous commit void, here is why.
Without commit 62469c7600 we would have the following scenario after
an ifconfig down then up sequence:
- bcmgenet_open() calls bcmgenet_power_up() to make sure the PHY is
initialized *before* we get to initialize the UniMAC, this is
critical to ensure the PHY is in a correct state, priv->phydev is
valid, this code executes fine
- second time from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), through the normal
phy_init_hw() call (which arguably could be optimized out)
Everything is fine in that case. With commit 62469c7600, we would have
the following scenario to happen after an ifconfig down then up
sequence:
- bcmgenet_close() calls phy_disonnect() which makes dev->phydev become
NULL
- when bcmgenet_open() executes again and calls bcmgenet_mii_reset() from
bcmgenet_power_up() to initialize the internal PHY, the NULL check
becomes true, so we do not reset the PHY, yet we keep going on and
initialize the UniMAC, causing MAC activity to occur
- we call bcmgenet_mii_reset() from bcmgenet_mii_probe(), but this is
too late, the PHY is botched, and causes the above bogus pings/packets
transmission/reception to occur
