Joe Hattori 2b6ffcd787 net: stmmac: restructure the error path of stmmac_probe_config_dt()
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.
