[PATCH v2 1/4] media: platform: meson-ao-cec: fix possible object reference leak

[Wen Yang]

The call to of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented here after the last
usage.
The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device
structure, we also should release that reference.

Hans Verkuil says:
The cec driver should never take a reference of the hdmi device.
It never accesses the HDMI device, it only needs the HDMI device pointer as
a key in the notifier list.
The real problem is that several CEC drivers take a reference of the HDMI
device and never release it. So those drivers need to be fixed.

This patch fixes those two issues.

v2->v1: 
- move of_node_put() to just after the 'hdmi_dev = of_find_device_by_node(np)'.
- put_device() can be done before the cec = devm_kzalloc line.
