regulator: core: Get and put regulator of_node
Currently the regulator core does not take an additional reference to the of_node it is passed. This means that the caller must ensure that the of_node is valid for the duration of the regulator's existance. It is reasonable for the framework to assume it is passed a valid of_node but seems onerous for it to assume the caller will keep the node valid for the life-time of the regulator, especially when devm_regulator_register is used and there will likely be no code in the driver called at the point it would be safe to put the of_node. This patch adds an additional of_node_get when the regulator is registered and an of_node_put when it is unregistered in the core. This means individual drivers are free to put their of_node references at the end of probe letting the regulator core handling it from there. This simplifies code on the driver side.
