[PATCH v2 1/9] phy: Remove unused phy_optional_get()

There were never any upstream users of this function since its
introduction almost 10 years ago.

Besides, the dummy for phy_optional_get() should have returned NULL
instead of an error code.

This is v2 of "phy: Return NULL if the PHY is optional (part two)".

 the phy cannot be found.Some generic drivers, such as ehci, may use multiple
 phys and for such drivers referencing phy(s) by name(s) does not make sense. In
 this case, devm_of_phy_get_by_index can be used to get a phy reference based on
