5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ae7370e61c5d8f5bcefc2d4fca724bd4e9bbf789 ]
Add calls to `phy_device_free` after `fixed_phy_unregister` to fix a
memory leak that occurs when the device is unplugged. This ensures
proper cleanup of pseudo fixed-link PHYs.
Fixes: 89b36fb5e532 ("lan78xx: Lan7801 Support for Fixed PHY")
