[ Upstream commit ce93fdb5f2ca5c9e2a9668411cc39091507f8dc9 ]
After calling fwnode_phy_find_device(), the phy device refcount is incremented. Then, when the phy device is attached to a netdev with phy_attach_direct(), the refcount is also incremented but only decremented in the caller if phy_attach_direct() fails. Move phy_device_free() before the "if" to always release it correctly. Indeed, either phy_attach_direct() failed and we don't want to keep a reference to the phydev or it succeeded and a reference has been taken internally.
