Do we really need to expose this simple-phy property? Looking at the
drvier code this more looks like a work around shortcomings of the
driver code rather than something really necessary.

You should be able to kill the ifdef around this function by doing

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) || !np)
		return NULL;

I think you should use of_get_mac_address() here.
