Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/5] net: fix phydev reference leaks

This series fixes a number of phydev reference leaks (and one of_node
leak) due to failure to put the reference taken by of_phy_find_device().

Note that I did not try to fix drivers/net/phy/xilinx_gmii2rgmii.c which
still leaks a reference.

Against net but should apply just as fine to net-next.

Thanks,
Johan

v2: 
 - use put_device() instead of phy_dev_free() to put the references
   taken in net/dsa (patch 1/4).
 - add four new patches fixing similar leaks
