Using CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC=y uncovered an imbalance in the usecount of the node being passed to of_fwnode_graph_get_port_parent(). Preserve the usecount by using of_get_parent() instead of of_get_next_parent() which don't decrement the usecount of the node passed to it.

But in essence it is the same issue but needs two separate fixes.
Ah, because one takes the port node and one takes the endpoint node. That won't confuse anyone. Can we please align this mess. I've tried to make the graph parsing not a free for all, open coded mess. There's no reason to have the port node handle and then need the parent device. Either you started with the parent device to parse local ports and endpoints or you got the remote endpoint with .graph_get_remote_endpoint(). Most of the time you don't even need the endpoint node handles. You really just need to know what is the remote device connected to port X, endpoint Y of my local device. Rob
