Hmm OK looks like I missed that one. If we want to have
of_graph_get_port_parent not trash the node passed to it, we should
just change things there too:

struct device_node *of_graph_get_remote_port_parent(
const struct device_node *node)
{
struct device_node *np, *pp;

/* Get remote endpoint node. */
np = of_graph_get_remote_endpoint(node);

pp = of_graph_get_port_parent(np);
of_node_put(np);

return pp;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_graph_get_remote_port_parent);

Does that make sense to you?

Do you mean on error it should be as below, right?

ret = asoc_graph_card_dai_link_of(it.node, priv, idx++);
if (ret < 0) {
of_node_put(it.node);
return ret;
}
