Both calls to of_find_node_by_name() and of_get_next_child() return a node pointer with refcount incremented thus it must be explicidly decremented here after the last usage. As we are assured to have a refcounted np either from the initial of_find_node_by_name(NULL, name); or from the of_get_next_child(gpio, np) in the while loop if we reached the error code path below, an x of_node_put(np) is needed.
