Subject: of: fix reference counting in of_graph_get_endpoint_by_regs

From: Lucas Stach <[email protected]>

commit 34276bb062b8449b3b0a208c9b848a1a27920075 upstream.

The called of_graph_get_next_endpoint() already decrements the refcount of the prev node, so it is wrong to do it again in the calling function.

Use the for_each_endpoint_of_node() helper to interate through the endpoint OF nodes, which already does the right thing and simplifies the code a bit.

(of: add helper for getting endpoint node of specific identifiers)
