This leaks the phylink structure. You need to call phylink_destroy().

register_netdev() publishes the network device.

phylink_create() should always be called _prior_ to the network device
being published. In any case...

If this fails, this function returns an error, but leaves the network
device published - which is a bug in itself.

Hmm? Shouldn't this do something?
