Subject: mdio-sun4i: Fix a memory leak

From: Christophe JAILLET <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 56c0290202ab94a2f2780c449395d4ae8495fab4 ]

If the probing of the regulator is deferred, the memory allocated by 'mdiobus_alloc_size()' will be leaking.
It should be freed before the next call to 'sun4i_mdio_probe()' which will reallocate it.
