This conversion is OK, but the logic in the function is still wrong.

It uses of_get_property() inside the loop, but then drops the reference to the
node before dereferencing the p_bus_freq pointer, which could by then point to
junk if the node has been freed.

Instead it should use of_property_read_u32() to actually read the property
value before dropping the reference.
