[PATCH v2] of/base: release the node correctly in of_parse_phandle_with_args()

From: Yuantian.Tang
Date: Wed Apr 10 2013 - 00:16:31 EST


From: Tang Yuantian <yuantian.tang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Call of_node_put() only when the out_args is NULL on success,
or the node's reference count will not be correct because the caller
will call of_node_put() again.

Signed-off-by: Tang Yuantian <Yuantian.Tang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
- modified the title and description. the 1st patch title is:
of: remove the unnecessary of_node_put for of_parse_phandle_with_args()
