[PATCH] phy: renesas: rcar-gen2: Return -EINVAL for out-of-range channel reg

Message-ID <[email protected]>
When of_property_read_u32() succeeds but channel_num exceeds
data->num_channels, rcar_gen2_phy_probe() returns error which is 0,
so probe reports success even though no PHY provider is registered.

Return -EINVAL in that case.
