Subject: [PATCH] bus: arm-cci: release node before breaking child_of_node loop

The iterator for_each_available_child_of_node() increments the refcount
of the child node it is processing. Release such a reference when the
loop needs to break due to an error during its execution.
Issue identified using for_each_child.cocci Coccinelle semantic patch.

Please note: The proposed change is compile tested only. I do not have the
necessary hardware to perform additional testing. Please suggest if there is an
alternate means available to further test this change.
