usb: chipidea: ci_hdrc_imx: Also search for 'phys' phandle

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: chipidea: ci_hdrc_imx: Also search for 'phys' phandle

When passing 'phys' in the devicetree to describe the USB PHY phandle
(which is the recommended way according to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/ci-hdrc-usb2.txt) the
following NULL pointer dereference is observed on i.MX7 and i.MX8MM:

[    1.489344] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000098

[    1.573973] lr : imx7d_charger_detection+0x22c/0x510

This happens because the charger functions check for the phy presence
inside the imx_usbmisc_data structure (data->usb_phy), but the chipidea
core populates the usb_phy passed via 'phys' inside 'struct ci_hdrc'
(ci->usb_phy) instead.

This causes the NULL pointer dereference inside imx7d_charger_detection().

Fix it by also searching for 'phys' in case 'fsl,usbphy' is not found.

Tested on a imx7s-warp board.
