[PATCH] powermac: Call of_node_put(bk_node) only once in pmac_has_backlight_type()

[Dan Carpenter]

First of all, the change is wrong.  We can't dereference "prop" after calling
of_node_put().  You have to be a bit extra careful reviewing Markus's patches
because a lot of the rest of us have blocked these messages so you're on your
own in that way.

The of_get_property() function doesn't do a get as in get/put, it just finds
the property and returns it.  It doesn't bump the reference count.  It's a
confusing name in that way.  The The of_node_put() pairs with
of_find_node_by_name().
