Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The SPMI parent device reference acquired by `spmi_find_device_by_of_node()` is permanently leaked on both success and error paths.
- [Low] Returning a pointer (`ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)`) from a function with an `int` return type.

power: reset: qcom-pon: Migrate to devm_spmi_subdevice_alloc_and_add()

This commit migrates the Qualcomm PON driver to register an SPMI sub-device
and initialize a specific regmap. This allows the driver to avoid manually
adding the base address to every read/write call.

[Severity: Low]
Does this code return a pointer from a function that returns an integer?

qcom_pon_probe() has an int return type, so returning ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)
causes an implicit pointer-to-integer conversion and a build warning.
Should this just return -ENODEV?

(Note: A similar type conversion appears to exist in sdam_probe() in
drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c)

[Severity: Medium]
Does this leak the device reference acquired by spmi_find_device_by_of_node()?

spmi_find_device_by_of_node() increments the reference count of the SPMI
parent device, but it appears put_device(&sparent->dev) is never called
on either the success or error paths to release it.

(Note: This same reference leak pattern also appears to be duplicated in
sdam_probe() in drivers/nvmem/qcom-spmi-sdam.c)
