Subject: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: loongson1: Fix inconsistent refcounting in
 ls1x_nand_chip_init()

From: Keguang Zhang <keguang.zhang@...il.com>

As reported by Dan,
commit d2d10ede04b1 ("mtd: rawnand: Add Loongson-1 NAND Controller
Driver"), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning:

drivers/mtd/nand/raw/loongson1-nand-controller.c:730 ls1x_nand_chip_init()
warn: inconsistent refcounting 'chip_np->kobj.kref.refcount.refs.counter':

Fix this issue by calling of_node_put() immediately after using chip_np.
In addition, remove all unnecessary of_node_put(chip_np) calls.

Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aBR535RZZT-sa6QZ@stanley.mountain/
Fixes: d2d10ede04b1 ("mtd: rawnand: Add Loongson-1 NAND Controller Driver")
