net: enetc: kill PHY-less mode for PFs
Right now, a PHY-less port (no phy-mode, no fixed-link, no phy-handle) doesn't register with phylink, but calls netif_carrier_on() from enetc_start(). This makes sense for a VF, but for a PF, this is braindead, because we never call enetc_mac_enable() so the MAC is left inoperational. Furthermore, commit 71b77a7a ("enetc: Migrate to PHYLINK and PCS_LYNX") put the nail in the coffin because it removed the initial netif_carrier_off() call done right after register_netdev(). Without that call, netif_carrier_on() does not call linkwatch_fire_event(), so the operstate remains IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. Just deny the broken configuration by requiring that a phy-mode is present, and always register a PF with phylink.
