[PATCH] powerpc/prom: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory

[Christophe JAILLET]

of_get_property() is used inside the loop, but then the reference to the
node is dropped before dereferencing the prop pointer, which could by then
point to junk if the node has been freed.

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