Hi Liu.

The of_node_put() matching of_node_get() runs after i2c_del_adapter(),
whose trailing memset() zeroes adap->dev and thus adap->dev.of_node,
making the put a no-op and leaking the node on every adapter removal
and error cleanup.
Use a devm action: the pointer is captured at registration, out of
reach of that memset(), and devres runs the put once on probe failure
and detach, replacing the three manual of_node_put() calls. The
setup loop uses the scoped iterator form so the child node is released
automatically if devm_add_action_or_reset() fails mid-loop.

Changes in v2:
- Rework the fix to use a devm action (cci_put_of_node) instead of
caching the pointer before i2c_del_adapter(), per Konrad Dybcio.
The pointer is captured at registration, out of reach of the
memset() in i2c_del_adapter(); the three manual of_node_put() calls
are removed.
- Use for_each_available_child_of_node_scoped() so the child
reference is released if devm_add_action_or_reset() fails mid-loop.

I believe the new cci_put_of_node() and the original of_node_put() functions
are type compatible, therefore a function type cast could be sufficient here:
(void (*)(void *))of_node_put
In any case the change seems to correct, thank you for the fix!
