yeah.. Fixed.

yeah. But the only concern here is there is no way to enforce the
labels are passed in platform data. The PHY user driver can also
hard code the labels while getting the reference to the PHY and we can
catch such cases only by review.

Not actually. Its done in phy_release (class's dev_release method)
