Subject: [PATCH] of/irq: add missing of_node_put() for interrupt parent node

After calling of_irq_parse_one(), the node provided in the of_phandle_args
has a refcount increment by one. Add missing of_node_put in of_irq_get()
to decrement the refcount once used.

While debugging a refcount problem with OF_DYNAMIC enabled (which is
actually the only case were node refcount are really used), I noticed that
platform_get_irq() was actually incrementing the refcount of an interrupt
controller node. Digging into that function shows that it calls
of_irq_get() which calls of_irq_parse_one() and finally of_irq_parse_raw().
Since it seems sane that the node returned in the of_phandle_args has a
refcount incremented, I thought it is better to put the of_node_put() in
the user even though it was hard to find any user doing so.

While investigating [1], I stumbled back on this. Was the failing case
you had using interrupts-extended? It looks to me like that path has a
get, but the 'interrupts' path does not. If so, this change is wrong.

In my case, it was with a classic "interrupts" property. I can take
another look at the internal code to be sure this fix is correct.
