Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the mdio-internal child node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node. This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first argument (i.e. the mdio-mux node). Fortunately, this was inadvertently balanced by a failure to drop the mdio-mux reference after lookup. While at it, also fix the related mdio-internal- and phy-node reference leaks.
