From: Grant Likely <grant.likely at secretlab.ca>

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.
