Previous rework to ucc_geth.c to add of_mdio support (net: Rework
ucc_geth driver to use of_mdio infrastructure) added a block of
code which broke older openfirmware device trees which use an
'interface' property in the phy node to describe the connection
between the MAC and the PHY.  This patch removes the offending blurb.

The above test only makes a difference when there is no phy node -- so I
don't see how it was breaking device trees that had a phy node (with or
without an "interface" property).  I can see it breaking fixed link
device trees, though.

Sorry, you're right.  I got myself confused when I was writing the
description.  This patch fixes breakage when using a fixed-link and
there is no phy-connection-type property.
