lan966x_probe_port() stores the newly allocated net_device in the
port before calling register_netdev(). If register_netdev() fails,
the probe error path calls lan966x_cleanup_ports(), which sees
port->dev and calls unregister_netdev() for a device that was never
registered.

Destroy the phylink instance created for this port and clear port->dev
before returning the registration error. The common cleanup path now skips
ports without port->dev before reaching the registered netdev cleanup, so
it only handles ports that reached the registered-netdev lifetime.

This also avoids treating an uninitialized FDMA netdev and the failed port
as a NULL == NULL match in the common cleanup path.

Changes in v3:
- Make lan966x_cleanup_ports() skip ports without port->dev, so the
  common cleanup path does not run registered-netdev, XDP, FDMA, or
  phylink cleanup for a port whose netdev registration failed.
- Keep the register_netdev() failure path responsible for destroying the
  newly created phylink and clearing port->dev before returning.

Changes in v2:
- Require port->dev to be non-NULL before calling the FDMA netdev cleanup
  path, avoiding a NULL == NULL match when register_netdev() fails before
  FDMA NAPI has been initialized.
