I guess this is exactly the point. Since available_pcs is used just here and
this is not a hot-path, I think the code would be simpler, but I do not have
a strong opinion about it.

what I mean here is if register_netdev() or airoha_setup_phylink() fails, we
should free metadata_dst running airoha_metadata_dst_free() as pointed out by
Christophe. I think this path depends on Christophe's one.
