[PATCH net v2] net: stmmac: Handle disabled MDIO busses from devicetree

[Andrew Halaney]

Many hardware configurations have the MDIO bus disabled, and are instead
using some other MDIO bus to talk to the MAC's phy.

of_mdiobus_register() returns -ENODEV in this case. Let's handle it
gracefully instead of failing to probe the MAC.

Fixes: 47dd7a540b8a ("net: add support for STMicroelectronics Ethernet controllers.")

Changes in v2:
- Improve error handling code (Serge)
- Fix malformed Fixes tag (Simon)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231211-b4-stmmac-handle-mdio-enodev-v1-1-73c20c44f8d6@redhat.com
