Heiner Kallweit c57da33f63 net: phy: fixed_phy: let fixed_phy_unregister free the phy_device ...

[ Upstream commit a0f849c1cc ]

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.
