[PATCH net 1/1] net: stmmac: dwmac-nuvoton: fix NULL pointer dereference in nvt_set_phy_intf_sel()

priv->dev was never initialized after devm_kzalloc() allocates the
private data structure. When nvt_set_phy_intf_sel() is later invoked
via the phylink interface_select callback, it calls
nvt_gmac_get_delay(priv->dev, ...) which dereferences the NULL pointer.
Fix this by assigning priv->dev = dev immediately after allocation.
Fixes: 4d7c557f58ef ("net: stmmac: dwmac-nuvoton: Add dwmac glue for Nuvoton MA35 family")
