[PATCH v4 5/6] phy: core: Fix an OF node refcount leakage in of_phy_provider_lookup()

[Zijun Hu <zijun_hu@icloud.com>]

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@quicinc.com>

For macro for_each_child_of_node(parent, child), refcount of @child has
been increased before entering its loop body, so normally needs to call
of_node_put(@child) before returning from the loop body to avoid refcount
leakage.

of_phy_provider_lookup() has such usage but does not call of_node_put()
before returning, so cause leakage of the OF node refcount.

Fixed by simply calling of_node_put() before returning from the loop body.

The APIs affected by this issue are shown below since they indirectly
invoke problematic of_phy_provider_lookup().
phy_get()
of_phy_get()
devm_phy_get()
devm_of_phy_get()
devm_of_phy_get_by_index()
