Subject: [PATCH 07/10] nvmem: core: fix device node refcounting

From: Michael Walle <michael@...le.cc>

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.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: 69aba7948cbe("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for consumers")
Fixes: 7ae6478b304b ("nvmem: core: rework nvmem cell instance creation")
