The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
structure, we should release that reference.

Detected by coccinelle with the following ERROR:
./drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi.c:50:1-7: ERROR: missing put_device; call
of_find_device_by_node on line 32, but without a corresponding object
release within this function.

NAK. First, you are putting pdev instead of phy_pdev. Next, the 
reference to the phy dev is correctly stored and then put in 
dsi_destroy(). Please do not make blind patches when reviewing static 
analyser warnings.
