for_each_child_of_node performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so a return from the loop requires an of_node_put. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr): // <smpl> @@ local idexpression n; expression e,e1; iterator name for_each_child_of_node; @@ for_each_child_of_node(e1,n) { ...
