sh_eth_plat_data.phy_interface has type phy_interface_t.
This is an enum containing only positive values, hence it is unsigned.
So the condition can never be true.
of_get_phy_mode() returns int, as it has to indicate errors by returning
negative error codes. Hence please use an intermediate of type int:
int ret;
...
ret = of_get_phy_mode(np);
if (ret < 0)
return NULL;
pdata->phy_interface = ret;
