* [PATCH] drivers: phy: fix memory leak in error handling

This fixes a memory leak in the phy_create() function.

If ida_simple_get() returns with an error, the code jumps
to the "err0" label without freeing the "phy" pointer.

This patch introduces a new error management label to address this.

Issue found with Coverity (CID 1127219)
