Subject: [PATCH 5.15 517/779] gpio: gpiolib-of: Fix refcount bugs in of_mm_gpiochip_add_data()

From: Liang He <windhl@....com>

[ Upstream commit 5d07a692f9562f9c06e62cce369e9dd108173a0f ]

We should use of_node_get() when a new reference of device_node
is created. It is noted that the old reference stored in
'mm_gc->gc.of_node' should also be decreased.

This patch is based on the fact that there is a call site in function
'qe_add_gpiochips()' of src file 'drivers\soc\fsl\qe\gpio.c'. In this
function, of_mm_gpiochip_add_data() is contained in an iteration of
for_each_compatible_node() which will automatically increase and
decrease the refcount. So we need additional of_node_get() for the
reference escape in of_mm_gpiochip_add_data().

Fixes: a19e3da5bc5f ("of/gpio: Kill of_gpio_chip and add members directly to gpio_chip")
