Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_node_by_type.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E,E1,E2;
statement S;

*x =

|of_find_compatible_node
|of_match_node
|of_find_node_by_type
