As far as I understand, the driver core will set dev->fwnode and
dev->of_node to NULL when the device is destroyed. As dev->of_node is
set in the probe function, an unbind-rebind cycle would result in a
reference leak if I don't put the dev->of_node reference in the
remove() handler. And if I do so, I don't want to leave dev->of_node
and dev->fwnode pointing to nodes whose reference has been released, as
they could then possibly disappear (in theory at least).

In any case, I've changed the DT bindings in v2, and the child devices
now reuse the OF node of the parent MFD, instead of using subnodes. This
allows using device_set_of_node_from_dev(), which seems to do fix this
whole issue.
