[PATCH v7 1/3] phy: mediatek: remove temporary variable @mask_

Remove the temporary @mask_, this may cause build warning when use clang
compiler for powerpc, but can't reproduce it when compile for arm64.
the build warning is caused by:

"warning: result of comparison of constant 18446744073709551615 with
expression of type (aka 'unsigned long') is always false
[-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]"

More information provided in below lore link.

After removing @mask_, there is a "CHECK:MACRO_ARG_REUSE" when run
checkpatch.pl, but due to @mask is constant, no reuse problem will happen.

v7: modify title suggested by Vinod,
    modify commit message and add link tag suggested by Nick

v6: modify the title

v4 new patch, I'm not sure it can fix build warning, due to I don't cross compile
    it for powerpc using clang in office.
