[PATCH net v2] net: mdiobus: release reset_gpio in mdiobus_unregister_device()

[Bence Csókás]

From: Buday Csaba <buday.csaba@prolan.hu>

reset_gpio is claimed in mdiobus_register_device(), but it is not
released in mdiobus_unregister_device(). It is instead only
released when the whole MDIO bus is unregistered.
When a device uses the reset_gpio property, it becomes impossible
to unregister it and register it again, because the GPIO remains
claimed.
This patch resolves that issue.

Fixes: bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support") # see notes
