Subject: [PATCH 4.9 028/137] soc: bcm: brcmstb: Dont leak device tree node reference

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

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

[ Upstream commit 1861a7f07e02292830a1ca256328d370deefea30 ]

of_find_node_by_path() acquires a reference to the node returned by it
and that reference needs to be dropped by its caller. soc_is_brcmstb()
doesn't do that, so fix it.

[treding: slightly rewrite to avoid inline comparison]
