Subject: [PATCH 4/4] arch/powerpc/platforms/chrp/nvram.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak

Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_node_by_type.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E,E1,E2;
statement S;

(

of_node_put(x);

// </smpl>
