Thanks, Tony.

I have found this bug but not send the patch for of_get_next_child()
as I am collecting other OF function related bugs and I have been told that it is better 
to collect all similar bugs in same directory, then finally report them.

So I will send a new patch for both of the two missing 'put' bugs caused by
of_find_xxx() and of_get_xxx() in omap_hwmod.c

Thanks gain.
