net: phy: don't try to setup PHY-driven SFP cages when using genphy

This change skips phy_sfp_probe() when the genphy driver is bound,
avoiding an RTNL deadlock in sfp_bus_add_upstream() since genphy
binding runs under RTNL while non-genphy driver binding does not.

There is a typo in the new comment, "wich" should be "which".
