[PATCH v2 4/6] phy: core: Fix an OF node refcount leakage in _of_phy_get()

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu at quicinc.com>

It will leak refcount of OF node @args.np for _of_phy_get() not to
decrease refcount increased by previous of_parse_phandle_with_args()
when returns due to of_device_is_compatible() error.

Fix by adding of_node_put() before the error return.

Fixes: b7563e2796f8 ("phy: work around 'phys' references to usb-nop-xceiv devices")
