DSA supports connecting to a phy-handle, and has a fallback to a non-OF based method of connecting to an internal PHY on the switch's own MDIO bus, if no phy-handle and no fixed-link nodes were present. The -ENODEV error code from the first attempt (phylink_of_phy_connect) is what triggers the second attempt (phylink_connect_phy). However, when the first attempt returns a different error code than -ENODEV, this results in an unbalance of calls to phylink_create and phylink_destroy by the time we exit the function. The phylink instance has leaked. There are many other error codes that can be returned by phylink_of_phy_connect. For example, phylink_validate returns -EINVAL. So this is a practical issue too.
