Subject: [PATCH 4/9] mmc: meson-mx-sdio: fix OF child-node lookup

Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the slot child
node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the
entire tree and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node.

This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe
deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first
argument (i.e. the node of the device being probed).

While at it, also fix up the related slot-node reference leak.
