Subject: sfp: fix non-detection of PHY
From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 20b56ed9f8adfb9a7fb1c878878c54aa4ed645c1 ]
The detection of a PHY changed in commit e98a3aabf85f ("mdio_bus: don't
return NULL from mdiobus_scan()") which now causes sfp to print an
error message. Update for this change.
Fixes: 73970055450e ("sfp: add SFP module support")
