Subject: [PATCH] PM / devfreq: event: Call of_node_put() only once in
 devfreq_event_get_edev_by_phandle()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

An of_node_put(node) call was immediately used after a null pointer check
for the local variable “edev” at the end of this function implementation.
Thus call such a function only once instead directly before the check.

This issue was transformed by using the Coccinelle software.
