If we exit the for_each_of_cpu_node loop early, the reference on the
current node must be decremented, otherwise there is a leak.

Also, I wonder if the drivers in drivers/clk/mvebu are used by anyone.
In order to compile-test the changes, I also had to change the 'bool' in Kconfig
by 'bool "blah"'. Without this change, it was not possible to set
CONFIG_ARMADA_AP_CPU_CLK required by Makefile.

I don't know if I did something wrong, if it is an issue only on my environment
or if something got broken at some time in the build chain but it looks
spurious.

If I'm right and that these drivers never compile and no-one noticed it,
maybe removing them is better than fixing some unlikely issues and style.
If these drivers should stay, Kconfig may need some love from someone.

Nobody has said anything on this patch. So I'm not really sure what's
going on. Probably we never take the error path, or the whole system
fails to boot?

You probably take this one.

   106                  /* If cpu2 or cpu3 is enabled */
   107                  if (cpu & APN806_CLUSTER_NUM_MASK) {
   108                          nclusters = 2;
   109  +                       of_node_put(dn);
   110                          break;
   111                  }

But, yeah, probably on one carse of "dn" can't be freed in real life.

Still probably worth fixing though just for correctness.  Otherwise it
makes static analysis less effective if people deliberately leave bugs
in the code.
