This bit turned out to catch some buggy bindings and dts, so if you want
to backport this one then the corresponding fixes for that would be
needed as well.

That includes

	a5d6b1ac56cb ("phy: qcom-qmp-usb: fix memleak on probe deferral")

and some dts fixes which likely already have been backported.

It may even be preferred to keep to just skip this patch and keep those
small memory leaks on probe deferral to not risk any regressions in
stable.
