That'd make things very confusing, though. devres_free() should only be
called on error, whereas both err1 and err0 are shared with the success
case as well. If we were to do what you suggest we'd end up with
something like this:

...

phy = __of_usb_find_phy(node);
if (IS_ERR(phy))
goto err2;

if (!try_module_get(...)) {
phy = ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);
goto err2;
}

*ptr = phy;
devres_add(dev, ptr);

get_device(phy->dev);

goto err1;

err2:
devres_free(ptr);

err1:
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&phy_lock, flags);

err0:
of_node_put(node);

return phy;
}

That's pretty spaghetti-like.
