I think this is best explained in the documentation. Check the "Rule
of thumb is" section (device_register() is really just a wrapper that
can only fail if device_add() fails):
https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/infrastructure.html?highlight=device_add#c.device_add

So you just want to drop the reference if device_register() fails.
That will make sure ulpi_dev_release() is called also in this case.

Note. Just by calling device_unregister() does not guarantee that
there are no more users left. We can be certain that the last user is
gone only when ulpi_dev_release() is called, so that's the place
where you want to release the fwnode (of_node).
