i3c: master: Fix of_node reference leak in i3c_master_register()

This commit attempts to fix a node reference leak in the error path of
i3c_master_register() when i3c_master_rpm_get() fails. It drops the reference
before device_initialize() is called.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this code correctly release the fwnode reference on non-DT systems like
ACPI?

The node for master->dev is acquired earlier in i3c_master_register() 
using the generic fwnode API:

	device_set_node(&master->dev, fwnode_handle_get(dev_fwnode(parent)));

Since of_node_put() only operates on Open Firmware nodes, won't this result in
a leaked reference on platforms utilizing ACPI or software nodes?

Should this use fwnode_handle_put(dev_fwnode(&master->dev)) instead, matching
the cleanup sequence implemented in i3c_masterdev_release()?
