[PATCH] PCI: imx: fix device node reference leak in imx_pcie_probe

As the doc of of_parse_phandle() states:
"The device_node pointer with refcount incremented.  Use
 * of_node_put() on it when done."
Add missing of_node_put() after of_parse_phandle() call to properly
release the device node reference.

Add missing of_node_put() after of_parse_phandle() call to properly
release the device node reference.

How do you think about to increase the application of scope-based resource management?

Which concrete software tools would be involved for this purpose?


How do you think about to append parentheses to the function name
in the summary phrase?

Needn't this paragaph

How did you verify the node can go after of_address_to_resource()?

So why not to use __free(device_node)?

thanks,
