The problem in this code is that if kobject_add() fails, then it should
call of_node_put(np) to drop the reference count. I've actually moved
the of_node_get(np) later in the function to avoid needing to do clean
up.

v2: move the of_node_get() instead of doing clean up. Also the v1 had a
confusing typo in the commit message.
