[PATCH v2] powerpc/mpc5xxx: Avoid dereferencing potentially freed memory

[Christophe JAILLET]

Use 'of_property_read_u32()' instead of 'of_get_property()'+pointer
dereference in order to avoid access to potentially freed memory.

Use 'of_get_next_parent()' to simplify the while() loop and avoid the
need of a temp variable.
