After calling usb_add_phy_dev(), client->dev.type will be changed
to 'usb_pyh_dev_type', the release() func is null, it cause the
following WARNING:

Device '1-001c' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst.
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 405 at device_release+0x1b7/0x240

It cause 'client' leaked which is allocated in i2c_new_client_device():

So add release func to dev to avoid this memory leak.

messing with a release pointer is almost never a good idea, and a sign
that something is really wrong.

Why is the type not set properly here so as to get the correct release
callback when the device is created?  Why do you have to manually change
this now after the fact?
