I prefer not to use the terse ternary operator in general, and
especially so in this case where we are doing something unexpected (i.e.
we want to highlight that the -ENODEV case is special).

So please keep the current construct, and just replace IS_ERR_OR_NULL
and drop the !phy test.

I think separating the declaration and (non-trivial) initialisation of
phy here is a good thing that can remain in the patch, even if it's
arguable separate change.
