    net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Fix a possible memory leak in bcm_sf2_mdio_register()
    
    [ Upstream commit e3862093ee93fcfbdadcb7957f5f8974fffa806a ]
    
    bcm_sf2_mdio_register() calls of_phy_find_device() and then
    phy_device_remove() in a loop to remove existing PHY devices.
    of_phy_find_device() eventually 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.
    
    This commit adds the missing phy_device_free() call to decrement the
    refcount via put_device() to balance the refcount.
