Thanks for catching the issue Jean!

This feels like a bug in of_irq_parse_one() to me. It's returning a
reference to a node without doing a of_node_get() on it.

Rob, Marc, Do you agree?

Jean,

If they agree, can you please fix of_irq_parse_one() and add a
of_node_put() to existing callers (if they aren't already doing a
put()).

Thanks,
Saravana
