Yep, the of_node_put() was to complement of_find_compatible_node() which
was originally done in probe(), and then of_find_node_by_path() in
__init when it was upstreamed, and now it's no longer needed.

Thanks!

Now to go figure out how a simple bugfix managed to blow up into a
7-patch series... If this goes on any longer, patch 1 should probably go
by itself, to fix the regression.
