Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/4] drivers/net/can/mscan/mpc5xxx_can.c: Add of_node_put
 to avoid memory leak

Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_matching_node.

This patch also moves the existing call to of_node_put after the call to
iounmap in the error handling code, to make it possible to jump to
of_node_put without doing iounmap.  These appear to be disjoint operations,
so the ordering doesn't matter.

This patch furthermore changes the -ENODEV result in the error handling
code for of_find_matching_node to a return of 0, as found in the error
handling code for of_iomap, because the return type of the function is
unsigned.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
