3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lixin Wang <alan.1.wang@nokia-sbell.com>

commit e0638fa400eaccf9fa8060f67140264c4e276552 upstream.

Reference count of device node was increased in of_i2c_register_device,
but without decreasing it in i2c_unregister_device. Then the added
device node will never be released. Fix this by adding the of_node_put.
