Maybe we should retain a reference to the device_node here (IOW,
replace '= np' by '= of_node_get(np)'). Of course this implies calling
of_node_put() when the mtd device is unregistered.

Not sure this is relevant to to the same here before returning the
device_node because it's mostly used by the MTD drivers and those are
the ones who called mtd_set_of_node() in the first place, so we can
assume it's safe to return an non-retained reference to a device_node.
