[Severity: High]
Does this cause a reference count underflow for the child_np device node?

drm_aux_bridge_register_from_node() assigns the node to an auxiliary device,
and its error and release paths in drm/bridge/aux-bridge.c unconditionally
call of_node_put() to drop the reference.

However, the for_each_available_child_of_node() iterator owns the reference
to child_np during this loop iteration. Passing it to
drm_aux_bridge_register_from_node() without acquiring an additional reference
via of_node_get() appears to hand off a reference the bridge doesn't own.

If drm_aux_bridge_register_from_node() succeeds, the loop advances and drops
the iterator's reference, leading to a double-put when the bridge is
eventually released.

If drm_aux_bridge_register_from_node() fails, it drops the reference
internally. The explicit of_node_put(child_np) here in the error block would
then cause an immediate double-put.
