When calling of_parse_phandle_with_args(), the caller is responsible
to call of_node_put() to release the reference of device node.
In scpi_dev_domain_id, it does not release the reference.

nit: delete the blank line after the Fixes tag.

Did you find this issue just by reviewing the code?  I read the comments
and then looked at a sample of four other callers and none of them
called of_node_put().  So it's a weird thing.  If this is really the rule
then we should have a static checker heuristic to enforce it.
