  Hi,

Some i2c mux drivers wrongly use the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node()
/ i2c_put_adapter() to lock the parent adapter.

Indeed, i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an
overflow over zero of the parent adapter user counter.

Identified mux drivers impacted are:
- i2c-mux-gpmux
- i2c-demux-pinctrl
- i2c-mux-pinctrl

Commit 48e9743dd648 ("i2c: core: add and export of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
interface") introduces of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() to correctly handle
this refcount issue.

This series fixes the 3 identified mux drivers replacing the
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() call by an of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
call.

Best regards,
Hervé
