[POWERPC] arch/powerpc/sysdev: Add missing of_node_put
The functions of_find_compatible_node and of_find_node_by_type both call of_node_get on their result. So any error handling code thereafter should call of_node_put(np). This is taken care of in the case where there is a goto out, but not when there is a direct return. The function irq_alloc_host puts np into the returned structure, which is stored in the global variable mpc8xx_pic_host, so the reference count should be set for the lifetime of that variable. The current solution ups the reference count again in the argument to irq_alloc_host so that it can be decremented on the way out. This seems a bit unnecessary, and also doesn't work in the case where irq_alloc_host fails, because then the reference count only goes does by one, whereas it should go down by two. A better solution is to not increment the reference count in the argument to irq_alloc_host and only decrement it on the way out in an error case. The problem was found using the following semantic match.
