At probe time this code path is followed:
- tegra_csi_init
- tegra_csi_channels_alloc
- for_each_child_of_node(node, channel) -- iterates over channels
- automatically gets 'channel'
- tegra_csi_channel_alloc()
- saves into chan->of_node a pointer to the channel OF node
- automatically gets and puts 'channel'
- now the node saved in chan->of_node has refcount 0, can disappear
- tegra_csi_channels_init
- iterates over channels
- tegra_csi_channel_init -- uses chan->of_node
After that, chan->of_node keeps storing the node until the device is removed.
of_node_get() the node and of_node_put() it during teardown to avoid any risk.

of_node_put(chan->of_node);Not related to your patch, but this kind of "one function cleans up everything" style is always buggy. For example, here it should be:
if (chan->mipi)
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(chan->mipi)) tegra_mipi_free(chan->mipi);I sort of agree the code could be clearer here, but looking at the code in detail, this cannot happen. chan->mipi is set in one place only, and if it is an error the whole probe fails. So it can be either NULL or a valid pointer here.
I assumed that tegra_csi_channels_cleanup() would clean up if tegra_csi_channel_alloc() fails. Otherwise then that's several different even worse bugs.
HINT: Let's all hope my initial analysis was correct.
Regarding my patch, do you think it is valid?
It sort of depends on if the "chan->mipi" dereference can crash like I explained above. If there is no ->mipi crash then the error handling needs to be fixed.
