The call to of_get_next_child returns a node pointer with refcount incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last usage. Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings: ./arch/arm/mach-versatile/versatile_dt.c:315:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 302, but without a corresponding object release within this function. ./arch/arm/mach-versatile/versatile_dt.c:320:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 302, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
