Not really sure this is right. It is in the sense that the DT node is
never accessed again. However, the device itself is still accessed and
I tend to think a ref to the DT node should be held for that lifetime
which in this case is forever. Really, none of this matters because
nodes are never removed and these fixes are kind of pointless.

Note that cm_get() and cm_control() are never used and can be removed.
That would be the more useful clean-up.
