[PATCH v2] powerpc: kernel: fix refcount leak in format_show()
From: Hangyu Hua
Date: Tue Mar 01 2022 - 21:20:15 EST
Refcount leak will happen when format_show returns failure in multiple
cases. Unified management of of_node_put can fix this problem.

v2:
1. change the title and description information.
2. fix all possible refcount leak.
