I suppose Coccinelle doesn't take into account that this code is
detaching and freeing the nodes.

The code might be improved by comments explaining how the bare
of_node_put() corresponds to a "get" somewhere else in the driver, and
how it doesn't render the ongoing traversal unsafe. It looks suspicious
on first review, but I believe it's intentional and probably correct as
written.
