Current implementation of stmmac_probe_config_dt() does not release the
OF node reference obtained by of_parse_phandle() in some error paths.
The problem is that some error paths call stmmac_remove_config_dt() to
clean up but others use and unwind ladder. These two types of error
handling have not kept in sync and have been a recurring source of bugs.
Re-write the error handling in stmmac_probe_config_dt() to use an unwind
ladder. Consequently, stmmac_remove_config_dt() is not needed anymore,
thus remove it.
This bug was found by an experimental verification tool that I am
developing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
