The function pll6_bypassed() calls of_parse_phandle_with_args()
but never calls of_node_put() to release the reference, causing
a memory leak.

Fix this by adding proper cleanup calls on all exit paths.

I think you put of_node_put() before if branch
I didn't put of_node_put() before if branch is clksepc.np is used in
the if branch.
It maybe not good to use it after calling of_node_put().
rc = of_parse_phandle_with_args()
if (rc < 0)
        ...
of_node_put(clkspec.np);


There are more places call of_parse_phandle_with_args() without of_node_put().
Thanks, I missed that, I will fix it in V2.
