Subject: [PATCH] media: adv748x: Fix endpoint reference leaks on probe failure

adv748x_parse_dt() takes an extra reference for every endpoint saved in state->endpoints. If parsing later fails, adv748x_probe() skips adv748x_dt_cleanup(), so the saved references remain held. A CSI-2 lane parsing error also returns from for_each_endpoint_of_node() without dropping the iterator's reference.

Save the endpoint reference only after lane parsing succeeds. Drop the iterator reference before returning a lane parsing error and route all parse failures through the endpoint cleanup path to release any saved references. This retains the endpoints only for a successful probe.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by manual source review.

Fixes 6a18865da8e3 ("media: i2c: adv748x: store number of CSI-2 lanes described in device tree")
Fixes eccf442ce156 ("media: i2c: adv748x: Support probing a single output")
