[PATCH] net: lpc_eth: Fix a possible memory leak in lpc_mii_probe()

[Ma Ke <make24@iscas.ac.cn>]

lpc_mii_probe() calls of_phy_find_device() to obtain a phy_device
pointer. of_phy_find_device() increments the refcount of the device.
The current implementation does not decrement the refcount after using
the pointer, which leads to a memory leak.

Add phy_device_free() to balance the refcount.

Found by code review.
