Indeed. There should be a put on the parent.

This whole function is less than ideal as it assumes the board has 2
levels of PCI nodes. This might be another (like brcmstb thread) place
to use .add_bus(). But that's a problem for another day.

I guess you have to know that only nodes are refcounted and property
functions never are.

There's also of_pci_get_max_link_speed() and of_get_pci_domain_nr().
