[PATCH] net: ethernet: nxp: Fix a possible memory leak in lpc_mii_probe()

[Jinjie Ruan]

of_phy_find_device() calls bus_find_device(), which calls get_device()
on the returned struct device * to increment the refcount. The current
implementation does not decrement the refcount, which causes memory leak.

So add the missing phy_device_free() call to decrement the
refcount via put_device() to balance the refcount.

Fixes: 3503bf024b3e ("net: lpc_eth: parse phy nodes from device tree")
