    of: overlay: add missing of_node_put() after add new node to changeset · 7c528e45
    Frank Rowand authored
    The refcount of a newly added overlay node decrements to one
    (instead of zero) when the overlay changeset is destroyed.  This
    change will cause the final decrement be to zero.
    
    After applying this patch, new validation warnings will be
    reported from the devicetree unittest during boot due to
    a pre-existing devicetree bug.  The warnings will be similar to:
    
      OF: ERROR: memory leak before free overlay changeset,  /testcase-data/overlay-node/test-bus/test-unittest4
    
    This pre-existing devicetree bug will also trigger a WARN_ONCE() from
    refcount_sub_and_test_checked() when an overlay changeset is
    destroyed without having first been applied.  This scenario occurs
    when an error in the overlay is detected during the overlay changeset
    creation:
