Hi Martin,

thanks for taking care of this.

Technically the of_node_put() could happen even earlier, since we
use the of_find_compatible_node() call only to figure out if this is the
Cotex-A15 or the A9 part. But it doesn't really matter, and is correct
anyways:

I also quickly boot tested this on a Midway(A15), but don't have a
Highbank(A9) readily set up at the moment.

Cheers,
Andre
