[PATCH v8 3/8] nvmem: core: take a reference on dev.of_node in nvmem_register()

[Manikandan Muralidharan <manikandan.m@microchip.com>]

nvmem_register() stores config->of_node (or config->dev->of_node)
into nvmem->dev.of_node without taking its own reference. Callers
that get the node via of_get_compatible_child() etc. and drop their
reference right after registering leave nvmem->dev.of_node backed by
no reference at all.

Take an of_node_get() when assigning nvmem->dev.of_node and release
it in nvmem_release(). Existing callers that hold their own get/put
pair around the registration call need no changes, since get/put on
a device_node is per-holder and independent of core now also holding
one.
