Since we only ever break out of the loop here or if epn == NULL, it
won't make a difference. Would you prefer this:

--- a/drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/soc_camera.c
+++ b/drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/soc_camera.c
@@ -1696,7 +1696,6 @@ static void scan_of_host(struct soc_camera_host *ici)

soc_of_bind(ici, epn, ren->parent);

- of_node_put(epn);
of_node_put(ren);

if (i) {
@@ -1704,6 +1703,8 @@ static void scan_of_host(struct soc_camera_host *ici)

#else
