The of node reference counting is broken. The DT maintainers actually
say not to care, the whole reference counting scheme is broken. Which
is a bit sad really. There was a discussion about this a couple of
months ago.

Anyway, the reference is taken in dsa_of_probe() as part of the
or_each_available_child_of_node(child, port). This reference has
nothing to do with the port being a fixed link or not. So freeing it
here is inappropriate. The correct place to free it would probably be
in dsa_of_remove.

They are now destroyed by the newly added dsa_cpu_dsa_destroy().  I'm
making the code more symmetrical and easier to re-use. The inverse of
this function is dsa_switch_setup_one() and it also uses a helper
function to setup the dsa and cpu ports, dsa_cpu_dsa_setups().
