In mipi_dsi_device_register_full(), we should call of_node_get()
when a new reference is created in to dsi->dev.of_node(), and call
of_node_put() in fail path or when it is not used anymore in *_unregister().
The reasons to commit this patch as folllow:
(1) There are totally 16 locations to call
(devm_)mipi_dsi_device_register_full()
in current version of kernel source code (5.19rc2), and 13 of them pass 'NULL'
to the function.
(2) Three other call sites have different manners as follow:
<1> ./drm/drm_mipi_dsi.c/of_mipi_dsi_device_add() calls
of_node_get() before pass the reference into above register func.
<2> ./drm/panel/panel-raspberrypi-touchscreen.c/rpi_touchscreen_probe()
calls of_graph_get_remote_port() to get the referenece with refcount
incremented before pass it into above register func.
<3> ./drm/panel/panel-novatek-nt35950.c/nt35950_probe() directly use
the reference without any refcounting to call above register func.
(3) So it is better to move refcounting into register func and also add
the corresponding of_node_put() into in fail path and *_unregister func.

device creation")

I have noticed that the of_node_get() is moved into
of_mipi_dsi_device_add() which then call above register func in
commit-c63ae8a9686b.
However, as there are different ways to directly call the register, I think it
is better to move the refcounting back into it. Please check it carefully.
