Subject: bnxt_en: Failure to update PHY is not fatal condition.
From: Michael Chan <mchan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ba41d46fe03223279054e58d570069fdc62fb768 upstream.
If we fail to update the PHY, we should print a warning and continue.
The current code to exit is buggy as it has not freed up the NIC
resources yet.
