This patchset fixes a regression introduced by
commit e8fcfcd5684a ("net: fec: optimize the clock management to save power")
for ethernet PHYs that are using ENET_OUT as reference clock (on i.MX6 or i.MX28)

Changes vs. v1:
- fixed reference to the commit that introduced the regression.
- dropped patch to use gpiod framework. This should be added later,
  after the affected DTBs have been updated to specify the correct
  gpio_flags.

Patch overview:
1. cleanup patch to remove redundant NULL checks
2. call fec_reset_phy() after the ENET_OUT clock has been enabled

I definitely want to test these on my SolidRun boards before these get
merged: the AR8035 on there is configured via pin-straps, and then
further tweaked with PHY quirks.  Resetting with the iMX6 in the
wrong state may result in the AR8035 being reconfigured (even jumping
to a different MDIO address) and certainly would need the PHY quirks
re-running.
