Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] i2c: muxes: i2c-demux-pinctrl: Use of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()

i2c-demux-pinctrl uses the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() /
i2c_put_adapter(). These pair alone is not correct to properly lock the
I2C parent adapter.

Indeed,	i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an
underflow of the parent module refcount.

Use the	dedicated function, of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), to handle
correctly the module refcount.
