From: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 51c100a651a471fcb8ead1ecc1224471eb0d61b9 ] The software_node_get_parent() returned a pointer to the parent swnode, but did not take a reference to it, leading the caller to put a reference that was not taken. Take that reference now.
