From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx> devm_phy_get() can fail for a number of resides besides probe deferral. It can for example return -ENOMEM if it runs out of memory as it tries to allocate devres structures. Propagating only -EPROBE_DEFER is problematic because it results in these legitimately fatal errors being treated as "PHY not specified in DT". What we really want is to ignore the optional PHYs only if they have not been specified in DT. devm_phy_optional_get() is a function that exactly does what's required here, so use that instead.
