The idea is to reset of_node to whatever it was before (NULL) and basically 
leave the device unchanged. Probe might run again because of deferral.

extcon_get_extcon_dev() just loops through all registered extcon devices
and compared names. It will return NULL when "max8997-muic" isn't
registered yet. extcon_get_extcon_dev() never returns EPROBE_DEFER so
checking for NULL seems to be the only way. Other drivers using that
function also do NULL check and return EPROBE_DEFER.

Thanks for reviewing,
