This doesn't really do anything with notifiers, so perhaps rename this
to something more independent?

Perhaps "... to find HDMI node..."? HDMI here doesn't refer to a name,
so I think it's better to use the capitalized abbreviation to avoid any
potential confusion.

Don't you need to hold onto that reference and pass it to the caller?
Otherwise somebody could be dropping the last reference to the struct
device backing the HDMI device after this call finishes.
In conjunction with the above comment, perhaps it'd be clearer if we had
a cec_hdmi_get()/cec_hdmi_put() pair of functions so that callers can
explicitly manage the reference count.
