    [POWERPC] arch/powerpc/sysdev: Add missing of_node_put · b1725c93
    Julia Lawall authored
    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.
