The PHY selection bit also exists on SoCs without an internal PHY; if
it's set to 1 (internal PHY) then the MAC will not make use of any PHY.

This problem appears when adapting for H6, which has no real internal
PHY (the "internal PHY" on H6 is not on-die, but on a co-packaged AC200
chip, via RMII interface at GPIO bank A), but the PHY selection bit is
set.

Force the PHY selection bit to 0 when no external PHY to select this
problem.

   "Select this problem" sound weird...

   No () should be needed here, add () around the macro body if still needed.
