Subject: powerpc/chrp/nvram.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.37-rc1~180^2~51
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7cf9bac559d233ff3a7fdbbdc4fc4c184abc5f59;p=karo-tx-linux.git

powerpc/chrp/nvram.c: Add of_node_put to avoid memory leak

Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_node_by_type.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
