For of_find_node_by_name(), you typically pass what the previous call
returned. Therefore, of_find_node_by_name() increases the refcount of
the returned node, and decreases the refcount of the node passed as the
first argument.

However, in this case we don't pass what the previous call returned,
so we have to increase the refcount of the first argument to compensate.

Also add a missing of_node_put() for the returned value, since this was
previously being leaked.

It's searching the entire tree *starting* at its first argument, which
means you may end up matching a completely unrelated node (i.e. not a
child or even descendant) elsewhere in the tree.

Unless you are doing a tree-wide search, using of_get_child_by_name() is
simply wrong.

I fixed up most of these bugs a few releases ago, but they keep on
creeping in.

No worries.
