Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] phy: core: Fix that API
 devm_of_phy_provider_unregister() fails to unregister the phy provider

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@...cinc.com>

For devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(), its comment says it needs to invoke
of_phy_provider_unregister() to unregister the phy provider, but it does
not invoke the function actually since devres_destroy() will not call
devm_phy_provider_release() at all which will call the function, and the
missing of_phy_provider_unregister() call will case:

- The phy provider fails to be unregistered.
- Leak both memory and the OF node refcount.

Fixed by using devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within the API.

Fixes: ff764963479a ("drivers: phy: add generic PHY framework")
