Add a call to of_node_put in the error handling code following a call to
of_find_compatible_node or of_find_node_by_type.

This patch also substantially reorganizes the error handling code in the
function, to that it is possible first to jump to code that frees qe_port
and then to jump to code that also puts np.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E,E1,E2;
statement S;

*x = 
(of_find_node_by_path
|of_find_node_by_name
|of_find_node_by_phandle
|of_get_parent
|of_get_next_parent
|of_get_next_child
|of_find_compatible_node
|of_match_node
|of_find_node_by_type
|of_find_node_with_property
|of_find_matching_node
|of_parse_phandle
)(...);
...
if (x == NULL) S
<... when != x = E
*if (...) {
 ... when != of_node_put(x)
     when != if (...) { ... of_node_put(x); ... }

*  return ...;

(
E2 = x;

of_node_put(x);
)
// </smpl>
