6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Li <unsw.weili@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 353353309b0f7afa407df29e455f9d15b5acc296 ]

of_parse_phandle_with_args() returns a device_node pointer with refcount
incremented in gpiospec.np. The loop iterates through all phandles but
never releases the reference, causing a refcount leak on each iteration.

Add of_node_put() calls to release the reference after extracting the
needed arguments and on the error path when devm_kzalloc() fails.

This bug was detected by our static analysis tool and verified by my
code review.
