Subject: [PATCH v4 2/8] imx-drm: Do not decrement endpoint node refcount in the loop

In preparation for the following patch, stop decrementing the endpoint node
refcount in the loop. This temporarily leaks a reference to the endpoint node,
which will be fixed by having of_graph_get_next_endpoint decrement the refcount
of its prev argument instead.

Changes since v3:
 - Rebased on top of 30e94a564d079f71f53368733720caa0c7c413c8
   (staging: imx-drm: Lines over 80 characters fixed.), which
   added a blank line in imx_drm_of_get_next_endpoint.
