[PATCH v3] net: phy: fix duplicate eth_phy binding

When both CONFIG_PHY_ETHERNET_ID and CONFIG_DM_ETH_PHY are enabled,
eth_phy_binds_nodes() called from eth_post_bind() already binds the
ethernet PHY node to eth_phy_generic_drv. However, phy_connect_phy_id()
called via phy_connect() also binds the same PHY node, resulting in
duplicate entries in the DM tree.
Fix this by checking at the beginning of phy_connect() whether the PHY
is already bound via uclass_get_device_by_phandle(). If so, skip all
generic binding methods.
Fixes: 68a4d1506109 ("net: phy: Bind ETH_PHY uclass driver to each new PHY")
