Yes. Sounds like I missed it.

This regression has been introduced by:

     clocksource: Put nodes passed to CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE
callbacks centrally

     Instead of letting each driver call of_node_put do it centrally in the
     loop that also calls the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE callbacks. This is less
     prone to error and also moves getting and putting the references
into the
     same function.

     Consequently all respective of_node_put calls in drivers are removed.

Still all but the hook in clocksource_of_init of this commit was
correct, right? (Well, but this buggy hunk makes the commit log wrong.)

I don't understand your comment, can you elaborate ?
My patch added an of_node_put in clocksource_of_init and dropped several
of_node_puts in drivers. This thread is about the first being wrong. My
question was if dropping the others was correct.

Yes, Thierry's patch removes the of_node_puts but I am also wondering if we shouldn't just revert the patch 326e31eebe61dc838e instead.
