Not quite. That is for of_node_puts after normal loop completion (not
sure that this problem comes up any more, but at one point there were a
number of them). There are indeed a lot of ways in which the management of
reference counts can go wrong...
Anyway, the rule that Amitoj used seems to be pretty reliable, so I'll try
to get it into the kernel source tree some day soon.
