The change fixes the issue for me, but according to my personal taste
the code isn't intuitive and still error-prone. Also there's no good
reason to inline a function like phy_link_topo_create() and make it
publicly available. Do you expect it to be ever used outside net core?
In general it may make sense to add a config symbol for the topology
extension, there seem to be very few, specialized use cases for it.
