I probably haven't followed closely enough, but I don't understand how
__free() is best than of_node_put() in front of of_parse_phandle()?
Especially since the doc clearly states

           "Return: The device_node pointer with refcount incremented.
           Use of_node_put() on it when done."

I don't believe including a recent header is a good practice for stable
inclusion anyway. I would recommend to let the commit as it is and in a
follow-up patch, maybe, we can move to a newer API if we want. This way
history between stable and mailine versions is easier to compare.
