i2c-mux-pinctrl 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
overflow over zero of the parent adapter user counter.

Use the dedicated function, of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), to handle
correctly the module refcount.

Perhaps "... underflow of the parent module refcount."?

Good find, and sorry about that!
