[PATCH v6 2/6] phy: core: Fix that API devm_of_phy_provider_unregister() fails to unregister the phy provider

[Zijun Hu]

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu at quicinc.com>

For devm_of_phy_provider_unregister(), its comment says it needs to invoke
of_phy_provider_unregister() to unregister the phy provider, but it will
not actually invoke the function since devres_destroy() does not call
devm_phy_provider_release(), and the missing of_phy_provider_unregister()
call will cause:

- The phy provider fails to be unregistered.
- Leak both memory and the OF node refcount.

Fortunately, the faulty API has not been used by current kernel tree.
Fix by using devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within the API.

Why to fix the API here instead of directly deleting it?

1) it is simpler, just one line change.
2) it may be used in future.
3) ensure this restored API right if need to restore it in future
   after deleting.

Anyone may remove such APIs separately later if he/she cares.
