[PATCH 1/2] phy-core: Don't print an error on probe deferral or nodata

Printing an error on probe-deferral clearly is not the right thing to do.
While at it I've also silenced the error in case of -ENODATA, so that
devm_phy_get can be used to get an optional phy without causing errors to
be printed. Alternatively a new devm_phy_get_optional method could be
added for this.

While at it also factor the error handling out of the if ... else ..., as it
is identical in both branches.
