Subject: [PATCH v2 05/15] ARM: imx51: fix a leaked reference by adding missing of_node_put

The call to of_get_next_child returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last
usage.

Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings:
./arch/arm/mach-imx/mach-imx51.c:64:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 57, but without a corresponding object release within this function.
