[PATCH] TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Thu Oct 22 2015 - 16:35:55 EST


Reference to the 'np' node is dropped before dereferencing the 'sizep' and
'basep' pointers, which could by then point to junk if the node has been
freed.

Refactor code to call 'of_node_pup' later.
