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.

Isn't this already fixed with this fix:

device property: Fix usecount for of_graph_get_port_parent()
No, that commit fixes it for of_graph_get_port_parent() while this
commit fixes it for of_fwnode_graph_get_port_parent(). 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.
