Hi Simon,

Sorry for the very late reply.

You are right that returning through a label keeps the cleanup in one
place, and makes it clear that the reference on plat->mdio_node is
dropped on this path as well. I have reworked the patch that way, and a
v2 follows in a separate mail, which also records how the issue was
found and how it was tested.

I am going through the remaining review comments one by one now, and I
will not send patches in bulk again.

Thanks,
Wentao
