Device nodes accessed via of_get_compatible_child() require of_node_put() to be called when the node is no longer required to avoid leaving a reference to the node behind, leaking the resource. In this case, the usage of 'tnode' is straightforward and there are no error paths, allowing for a single of_node_put() when 'tnode' is no longer required.
