Each iteration of for_each_available_child_of_node puts the previous node, but in the case of a break from the middle of the loop, there is no put, thus causing a memory leak. Upon termination of the loop (whether by break or a natural exit), either ret will have a non-zero value or child will be NULL. Hence add an of_node_put() that will execute only when ret has a non-zero value, as calling of_node_put() on a possible NULL value does not cause any further issues. Issue found with Coccinelle.
