[PATCH v3] drm/bridge: imx8qxp-pxl2dpi: avoid ERR_PTR with device_node cleanup

imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() returns ERR_PTR()
on errors. imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_find_next_bridge() stores its return
value in a __free(device_node) variable before checking IS_ERR().
When the function returns on the error path, the cleanup action calls
of_node_put() on the ERR_PTR() value.
Do not let a device_node cleanup variable hold error pointers. Return
the error code from imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port()
directly and pass the endpoint node through an output argument. This
keeps the cleanup action operating only on NULL or a valid device_node,
while preserving the existing error codes.
This issue was found by a custom static analysis tool.

v3:
- Do not change DEFINE_FREE(device_node, ...).
- Fix the driver pattern by making
imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() return an int and
pass the endpoint via an output argument.
- Update both callers so __free(device_node) never holds ERR_PTR().
v2:
- Fix DEFINE_FREE(device_node, ...) directly.
