[PATCH v2 3/8] of: Decrement refcount of previous endpoint in of_graph_get_next_endpoint

[Philipp Zabel]

Decrementing the reference count of the previous endpoint node allows to
use the of_graph_get_next_endpoint function in a for_each_... style macro.
Prior to this patch, all current users of this function that actually pass
a non-NULL prev parameter should be changed to not decrement the passed
prev argument's refcount themselves.
