net: phy: mdio-sun4i: don't select REGULATOR
The mdio-sun4i driver automatically selects REGULATOR and REGULATOR_FIXED_VOLTAGE because it uses the regulator API. But a driver selecting a subsystem increases the chance of generating circular Kconfig dependencies, especially when other drivers depend on the selected symbol. Since the regulator API functions are replaced with no-ops when REGULATOR is disabled, the driver can be built successfully even without regulator support and so those 'select' dependencies can be safely dropped.
