Hi,

The leak was not hit at runtime. I found it by code inspection while
reviewing the MDIO attach paths, as the commit message notes. There is
no stack trace: the effect would be one struct phy_device allocated
per port on every probe and never released.

I don't have ADIN1100 or ADIN2111 hardware, so the change is
compile-tested only, with CONFIG_ADIN1110 enabled on x86_64.

Thanks,
Xia Yan
