Subject: Input: twl6040-vibra - fix DT node memory management

From: H. Nikolaus Schaller <[email protected]>

commit c52c545ead97fcc2f4f8ea38f1ae3c23211e09a8 upstream.

commit e7ec014a47e4 ("Input: twl6040-vibra - update for device tree support")

made the separate vibra DT node to a subnode of the twl6040.

It now calls of_find_node_by_name() to locate the "vibra" subnode. This function has a side effect to call of_node_put on() for the twl6040 parent node passed in as a parameter. This causes trouble later on.

Solution: we must call of_node_get() before of_find_node_by_name()
