i2c-mux-gpmux uses the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() /
i2c_put_adapter(). These pair alone is not correct to properly lock the
I2C 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
underflow of the parent module refcount.
Use the dedicated function, of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), to handle
correctly the module refcount.
