Subject: [PATCH 2/6] powerpc/pseries: add missing of_node_put

for_each_node_by_type performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so a break
out of the loop requires an of_node_put.  In this code, there are two paths
that break out of the loop.  In the first one (open-pic case), the code
originally contained an of_node_get.  That increments the reference count,
which cancels out against the decrement of the reference count that is
needed here, and thus the patch drops the of_node_get.  In the second one
(ppc-xicp case), there is no need to save the node value, and so an
of_node_put is added as described by the following semantic patch rule
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr):

// <smpl>
@@
expression e,e1;
local idexpression n;
@@

 for_each_node_by_type(n, e1) {
   ... when != of_node_put(n)
       when != e = n
(
   return n;
|
+  of_node_put(n);
?  return ...;
)
   ...
 }
// </smpl>
