The phy is only optional as long as none is specified in the device
tree. When there is one specified then it's no longer optional. We can't
do the right thing here without checking the device tree. Given that
it's simple to enable CONFIG_GENERIC_PHY I think this is the way to go.
How about issuing a warning in the phy_optional_get stub? That would
point the user in the right direction.
