Subject[PATCH net] net: phy: fix memory leak in device-create error path
Date
A recent commit introduced a late error path in phy_device_create()
which fails to release the device name allocated by dev_set_name().

Fixes: 13d0ab6750b2 ("net: phy: check return code when requesting PHY driver module")
