Subject: [patch] drivers: phy: tweaks to phy_create()

If this was called with a NULL "dev" then it lead to a NULL dereference
when we called dev_WARN().  I have changed it to WARN_ON() so that we
get a stack dump and can fix the caller.

If ida_simple_get() failed then there was a missing call to kfree(phy).

The rest of this patch is just cleanup like returning directly instead
of having do-nothing gotos.  Using descriptive labels instead of
GW-BASIC style "err0" and "err1".  I also flipped the order of
put_device() and ida_remove() so they are a mirror reflection of the
order they were allocated.
