backlight: max8925_bl: Fix Device Tree node lookup
commit d1cc0ec3da23e44c23712579515494b374f111c9 upstream. Fix child-node lookup during probe, which ended up searching the whole device tree depth-first starting at the parent rather than just matching on its children. To make things worse, the parent mfd node was also prematurely freed, while the child backlight node was leaked.
