Shitalkumar Gandhi a9e29dcd8a net: ethernet: sunplus: spl2sw: fix phy_node refcount leak in remove
mac->phy_node is acquired via of_parse_phandle() in spl2sw_probe() and
stored in the mac private data, transferring ownership of the
device_node reference to mac. On driver removal, spl2sw_phy_remove()
disconnects the PHY but never drops that reference, so each
probe-then-remove cycle leaks one of_node refcount per port permanently.

Drop the reference after phy_disconnect(). While at it, remove the
redundant inner "if (ndev)" check; comm->ndev[i] was just verified
non-NULL on the line above.

Compile-tested only; no SP7021 hardware available.

Fixes: fd3040b939 ("net: ethernet: Add driver for Sunplus SP7021")
