[PATCH] powerpc/fsl_uli1575: fix device_node reference leak in uli_init()

The of_get_parent() function increments the reference count of the
returned parent node, and of_node_put() is required to
release the reference when it is no longer needed.

The uli_init() function has a device_node reference leak.
The issue occurs in two scenarios:
1. When the function finds a matching device, it breaks out of the loop,
   the reference held by 'node' is not released.
2. When the loop terminates normally (of_get_parent returns NULL),
   the final parent node reference is not released.

Fix this by adding of_node_put(node).
