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 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. Best regards, Felix Gu
