So now you are using the phy within the driver, but not holding a
reference to its node? That is wrong. Though if a struct device was
created for the phy's node, it would hold a reference. There are a
bunch of error paths where the reference should be dropped. But
really, this driver is a big mess with the phy binding and framework
not used and your nodes probably aren't going to be disappearing on
you anyways.
