Subject: [PATCH 1/1] of: property: Fix device_node cleanup

'__free(device_node)' attached to remote will cause a double release:
> OF: ERROR: of_node_release() detected bad of_node_put() on
> /soc@...us@...00000/dsi@...60000

In case remote is to be returned it must not be cleaned up by a call
to of_node_put. The caller has to do that as the documentation mentions.
Partly revert commit b94d24c08ee1a ("of: property: Remove calls to
of_node_put") to fix it.

Fixes: b94d24c08ee1 ("of: property: Remove calls to of_node_put")
