commit c0b82ab95b4f1fbc3e3aeab9d829d012669524b6 upstream.

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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
