It currently iterates over each phy, but would only of_node_put the phy it handled last. So if an error happens on the 3rd phy, the first 2 are already instantiated and would also get removed when the overall probe fails, but their of_node would never be "put". I think this goes together with what Brian described in patch1 having the phy- core also handle the node-reference. When this is included we could just always put the of_node when finishing its loop iteration, as the phy-core will have its own reference on the node.
