Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: mdio_bus: add missing device_del() in mdiobus_register() error handling

The current code in __mdiobus_register() doesn't properly handle
failures returned by the devm_gpiod_get_optional() call: it returns
immediately, without unregistering the device that was added by the
call to device_register() earlier in the function.

This leaves a stale device, which then causes a NULL pointer
dereference in the code that handles deferred probing:

The actual error that we had from devm_gpiod_get_optional() was
-EPROBE_DEFER, due to the GPIO being provided by a driver that is
probed later than the Ethernet controller driver.

To fix this, we simply add the missing device_del() invocation in the
error path.
