[PATCH v6] 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 introducing phy_connect_dm_bound() which checks if the PHY
is already bound via uclass_find_device_by_phandle(). If so, it gets
the phy_device via phy_find_by_mask() since the udevice does not store
a phy_device pointer and the phy_device can only be obtained by
scanning the MDIO bus. The phydev->node is then set from the
already-bound DM device. This skips the generic binding methods
in phy_connect() when the PHY is already DM-bound.
Fixes: 68a4d1506109 ("net: phy: Bind ETH_PHY uclass driver to each new PHY")

Changes in v6:
- Introduce phy_connect_dm_bound() helper to handle already DM-bound PHY
- Extend commit message to explain why phy_find_by_mask() is needed
Changes in v5:
- Use int ret instead of bool phy_bound and goto out
Changes in v4:
- Removed IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DM_ETH_PHY), use runtime check via
uclass_find_device_by_phandle()
- Fix indentation of binding methods block
- Assign phydev->node from the bound DM device's ofnode
Changes in v3:
- Moved duplicate binding check to beginning of phy_connect()
Changes in v2:
- Move duplicate binding check to caller phy_connect()
- Update commit description
