[PATCH v3 03/18] of: overlay: add missing of_node_get() in __of_attach_node_sysfs

[frowand . list]

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

There is a matching of_node_put() in __of_detach_node_sysfs()

Remove misleading comment from function header comment for
of_detach_node().

This patch may result in memory leaks from code that directly calls
the dynamic node add and delete functions directly instead of
using changesets.
