wifi-scripts: update phys after rename_phy_by_name call

This fixes a failed bring up of the radio on bootup
if the model defines a rename of phy in its /etc/board.json.
This specifically impacts Redmi AX6S and any router that does so
in its /etc/board.json. The fix fortunately is simple, just update
phy name in phys after rename.

The entry that specifically causes this issue is the following:

{
<omitted>
"wlan": {
"wl0": {
"path": "platform/18000000.wmac",
"info": {
"antenna_rx": 15,
"antenna_tx": 15,
"bands": {
"2G": {
"ht": true,
"max_width": 40,
"modes": [
"NOHT",
"HT20",
"HT40"
],
"default_channel": 1
}
},
"radios": [
]
}
},
...
}

The issue is that after rename, referenced phy in config is going to be
wl0 but in phys array it is still phy0; and so it fails to find phy
and does not bring up radio.
