Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: phy: fixed_phy: let fixed_phy_unregister free the phy_device
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2025 23:25:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ad8dda9a-10ed-4060-916b-3f13bdbb899d@gmail.com> (raw)

fixed_phy_register() creates and registers the phy_device. To be
symmetric, we should not only unregister, but also free the phy_device
in fixed_phy_unregister(). This allows to simplify code in users.

Note wrt of_phy_deregister_fixed_link():
put_device(&phydev->mdio.dev) and phy_device_free(phydev) are identical.
