Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/mediatek: fix potential OF node use-after-free

The for_each_child_of_node() helper drops the reference it takes to each
node as it iterates over children and an explicit of_node_put() is only
needed when exiting the loop early.

Drop the recently introduced bogus additional reference count decrement
at each iteration that could potentially lead to a use-after-free.

Fixes: 1f403699c40f ("drm/mediatek: Fix device/node reference count leaks in mtk_drm_get_all_drm_priv")
