net: ethernet: bgmac-platform: fix an OF node reference leak
[ Upstream commit 0cb2c504d79e7caa3abade3f466750c82ad26f01 ]
The OF node obtained by of_parse_phandle() is not freed. Call
of_node_put() to balance the refcount.
This bug was found by an experimental static analysis tool that I am
developing.
