The runtime PM should be disabled if devm_phy_create()
or devm_of_phy_provider_register() fail.

Also, I'm just realizing that mixel_dphy_configure() accesses some PHY
registers, which likely needs the power domain on. However, the
phy-core doesn't manage the runtime PM for phy_configure(). It looks
that the NWL DSI bridge driver, which uses the PHY, enables the same
power domain prior to the PHY configuration. That's probably why
mixel_dphy_configure() gets power for accessing registers(if really
needed). So, perhaps, either make phy_configure() manage runtime PM or 
get/put runtime PM in mixel_dphy_configure().
