Hi Johan,

Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the slot child
node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the
entire tree and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node.
that new helper is much appreciated, thank you!
This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe
deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first
argument (i.e. the node of the device being probed).

While at it, also fix up the related slot-node reference leak.
not sure why both issues went unnoticed so far - good that they're now
both fixed. thank you!

backporting only works if the patch introducing
of_get_compatible_child is also backported
do we have to inform Greg somehow?
