Thanks, I will change it in my new patch.

I think of_node_put after should come after its usage, right?

Sorry, I just want to say, if *fan* is not NULL, but of_property_read_u32() returns 0.
In that case, we still need a of_node_put() to release fan, right?

Hi, Guenter, I am preparing my new patch and I want to discuss your suggestions as above.
