[PATCH v3 phy-next 14/24] phy: introduce phy_get_max_link_rate() helper for consumers

Consumer drivers shouldn't dereference struct phy, not even to get to
its attributes.

We have phy_get_bus_width() as a precedent for getting the bus_width
attribute, so let's add phy_get_max_link_rate() and use it in DRM and
CAN drivers.

In CAN drivers, the transceiver is acquired through devm_phy_optional_get()
and NULL is given by the API as a non-error case, so the PHY API should
also tolerate NULL coming back to it. This means we can further simplify
the call sites that test for the NULL quality of the transceiver.
