This still misses a path - if that `return 0' is taken, we still leak
the reference.

This is reason #345 why sprinkling return statements all over your code
is bad.

I fixed it up thusly.  Please check.




of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from
of_find_node_by_name, eg in error handling code or when the device
node is no longer used.

The semantic match that catches the bug is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression struct device_node *n;
position p1, p2;
struct device_node *n1;
statement S;
identifier f;
expression E;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

n@p1 = of_find_node_by_name(...)
...
if (!n) S
... when != of_node_put(n)
    when != n1 = f(n,...)
    when != E = n
    when any
    when strict
(
  return \(0\|<+...n...+>\|ptr\);
|
return@p2 ...;
|
  of_node_put(n);
|
  n1 = f(n,...)

  E = n
)

p2 << r.p2;
