[PATCH net-next 02/14] net: stmmac: remove plat_dat->port_node

There are repeated instances of:

	fwnode = priv->plat->port_node;
	if (!fwnode)
		fwnode = dev_fwnode(priv->device);

However, the only place that ->port_node is set is
stmmac_probe_config_dt():

	struct device_node *np = pdev->dev.of_node;
...
	/* PHYLINK automatically parses the phy-handle property */
	plat->port_node = of_fwnode_handle(np);

which is equivalent to dev_fwnode(&pdev->dev) and, as priv->device
will be &pdev->dev, is also equivalent to dev_fwnode(priv->device).

Thus, plat_dat->port_node doesn't provide any extra benefit over
using dev_fwnode(priv->device) directly.

There is one case where port_node is used directly, which can be
found in stmmac_pcs_setup(). This may cause a change of behaviour
as PCI drivers do not populate plat_dat->port_node, but
dev_fwnode(priv->device) may be valid. PCI-based stmmac should
be tested.
