net: hns: question regarding ae_node device node refcounting

Hello,

hns_nic_dev_probe() increments refcount of ae_node device node:
ae_node = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "ae-handle", 0);

But there is no of_node_put() for ae_node.
What is the right place to decrement the ae_node refount?

Should it be placed in hns_nic_dev_probe() or in hns_nic_dev_remove()?
Or may be it is managed by fwnode somehow?
