4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <jo...@kernel.org>

commit c483a5cc9d09f4ceaa9abb106f863cc89cb643d9 upstream.

Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the slot child
node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the
entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated
(i.e. non-child) node.

This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe
deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first
argument (i.e. the node of the device being probed).

While at it, also fix up the related slot-node reference leak.

Fixes: ed80a13bb4c4 ("mmc: meson-mx-sdio: Add a driver for the Amlogic Meson8 
and Meson8b SoCs")
