In of_iommu_get_resv_regions(), of_find_node_by_phandle() returns a device
node with its reference count incremented. The caller is responsible for
releasing this reference when the node is no longer needed.

Add a call to of_node_put() to release the reference after the usage.

Just put the reference immediately after getting it - this inner usage only happens if it's the same dev->of_node we're already using for the outer iteration, so we don't need to bother holding an extra reference as it can't suddenly disappear anyway (or even if it could, that's still not *this* code's problem...)

Thanks,
Robin.

Found via static analysis.
