Subject: [PATCH 4.9 052/310] mdio: mux: fix device_node_continue.cocci warnings

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@...6.fr>


[ Upstream commit 8c977f5a856a7276450ddf3a7b57b4a8815b63f9 ]

Device node iterators put the previous value of the index variable, so an
explicit put causes a double put.

In particular, of_mdiobus_register can fail before doing anything
interesting, so one could view it as a no-op from the reference count
point of view.
