Subject: nvmem: core: fix device node refcounting
From: Michael Walle <michael@xxxxxxxx>
commit edcf2fb660526b5ed29f93bd17328a2b4835c8b2 upstream.
In of_nvmem_cell_get(), of_get_next_parent() is used on cell_np. This
will decrement the refcount on cell_np, but cell_np is still used later
in the code. Use of_get_parent() instead and of_node_put() in the
appropriate places.
Fixes: 69aba7948cbe ("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for consumers")
Fixes: 7ae6478b304b ("nvmem: core: rework nvmem cell instance creation")
