Subject: [PATCH v2 04/18] powerpc/pseries: add of_node_put() in dlpar_detach_node()

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@...y.com>

"of: overlay: add missing of_node_get() in __of_attach_node_sysfs"
added a missing of_node_get() to __of_attach_node_sysfs().  This
results in a refcount imbalance for nodes attached with
dlpar_attach_node().  The calling sequence from dlpar_attach_node()
to __of_attach_node_sysfs() is:

   dlpar_attach_node()
      of_attach_node()
         __of_attach_node_sysfs()

Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@...y.com>

***** UNTESTED.  I need people with the affected PowerPC systems
*****            (systems that dynamically allocate and deallocate
*****            devicetree nodes) to test this patch.
