I would argue that if everybody makes the same mistake then our
interface is wrong. In that case I wrote it so I think I can plead
guilty to the mistake ;-)

In hindsight, but I don't have the stammina to do a tree-wide change, I
think we should have differenciated:

	of_find_xxx which does *not* drop the reference

	of_find_next_xxx which does
