[PATCH] drm/mediatek: Keep the mutex node reference across deferred binds

[PATCH] drm/mediatek: Keep the mutex node reference across deferred binds

[Yige Jiang]

mtk_drm_probe() acquires private->mutex_node and releases that reference
on probe failure or in mtk_drm_remove(). The component bind callback does
not acquire another reference, so it must not put the node when the mutex
platform device is not available.

If this bind failure propagates through component_master_add_with_match(),
the probe error path puts the same reference again. A bind attempted after
probe has returned can also leave the stored node without its reference
for a later bind or remove.

Remove the bind-time put and leave the node reference with its probe/remove
owner.
