[PATCH] phy: sunplus: fix crash when the disc_vol nvmem cell is missing

nvmem_cell_get() can fail with errors other than -EPROBE_DEFER, but
update_disc_vol() only handled -EPROBE_DEFER and then called
nvmem_cell_read() with the error pointer, crashing the kernel.

Fall back to the default disconnect voltage on a failed cell lookup,
and free the buffer returned by nvmem_cell_read().
