The private structure contain a pointer to phydev, but the structure
net_device already contain such pointer. So we can remove the pointer
phydev in the private structure, and update the driver to use the
one contained in struct net_device.

    Initializer not really needed.

You're right, the first line using phy is an assign, so it's not really usefull.

     Hm, where do you assign 'dev->phydev'?

dev-> phydev is assigned in phy_connect_direct. In fact, phy_connect_direct call
phy_attach_direct, and this last function assign phydev to dev->phydev.
