Subject: [PATCH] coccinelle: semantic patch for missing of_node_put

Looking for places where there is an of_node_put on some paths
but not on others. This SmPL checks that there is a put of the
same data elsewhere in the function, so perhaps that will
alleviate the concern about puts where they are not needed,
while still making it possible to find the ones that are needed.
