net: stmmac: fix invalid call to mdiobus_get_phy()
[ Upstream commit 1f3bd64ad921f051254591fbed04fd30b306cde6 ]
In a number of cases the driver assigns a default value of -1 to
priv->plat->phy_addr. This may result in calling mdiobus_get_phy()
with addr parameter being -1. Therefore check for this scenario and
bail out before calling mdiobus_get_phy().
