phy: lynx-28g: reject probing on devices with unsupported OF nodes
It is possible to bind the lynx-28g driver to an arbitrary device with
an OF node, using the driver_override mechanism that is available for
the platform bus, and trigger a crash this way:
$ echo 1ea0000.serdes > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/lynx-10g/unbind
$ echo lynx-28g > /sys/bus/platform/devices/1ea0000.serdes/driver_override
$ echo 1ea0000.serdes > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/lynx-28g/bind
Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP
Hardware name: LS1028A RDB Board (DT)
pc : lynx_probe+0x118/0x4fc
lr : lynx_probe+0x110/0x4fc
Call trace:

The crash is caused by the fact that of_device_get_match_data() returns
NULL (the bound device has a different compatible string) and this is
not checked.
There was a previous attempt to avoid this in commit c9d80e861034 ("phy:
lynx-28g: require an OF node to probe"), but the mechanism was not fully
understood and it only covered the case where the driver was bound to a
device with no OF node.
The issue was found during Sashiko review. Elevated privilege is
required to override the driver for a device, so the real life impact of
the issue should not be very high.
