Subject: sfp: fix non-detection of PHY

From: Russell King <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 20b56ed9f8adfb9a7fb1c878878c54aa4ed645c1 ]

The detection of a PHY changed in commit e98a3aabf85f ("mdio_bus: don't return NULL from mdiobus_scan()") which now causes sfp to print an error message. Update for this change.
