As all drivers now provide phylink capabilities (including MAC), the if() condition in dsa_port_phylink_validate() will always be true. We will always use the generic validator, which phylink will call itself if the .validate method isn't populated. Thus, there is now no need to implement the .validate method, so this implementation can be removed.
