[PATCH 0/5] i2c: fix device_node refcount leaks in 5 bus drivers

This series fixes device_node refcount leaks in 5 i2c bus drivers that
share the same bug pattern:

  adap->dev.of_node = of_node_get(pdev->dev.of_node);

Each driver calls of_node_get() to take an extra reference on the
platform device's of_node when assigning it to the adapter device, but
none of them drop it in the probe error paths nor in the remove()
callback.

device_release() does not call of_node_put(), and
i2c_adapter_dev_release() only completes a struct, so the extra
reference is never released, leaking the device_node on every probe
failure and every adapter removal.

Additionally, in the remove() callbacks, i2c_del_adapter() clears
adap->dev with memset() at the end (commit bd4bc3dbded9 ("i2c: Clear
i2c_adapter.dev on adapter removal")), which zeroes adap->dev.of_node
before of_node_put() runs, turning it into a no-op.  The fix caches the
pointer before calling i2c_del_adapter(), the same approach used in
i2c-mux (i2c_mux_del_adapters) and mtd (commit 56570bdad5e3 ("mtd: core:
Fix refcount error in del_mtd_device()")).

A related fix for the i2c-qcom-cci driver has already been submitted
separately:

These 5 drivers are the remaining i2c bus drivers that use of_node_get()
on the adapter device; all other drivers either assign of_node directly
(without taking an extra reference) or don't use Device Tree at all.

Each patch has its own Fixes: tag pointing to the commit that introduced
of_node_get() in the respective driver, and requests stable backport via

Compile-tested with gcc on arm64 defconfig using COMPILE_TEST; no
hardware available for runtime testing.
