First of all, the change is wrong.  We can't dereference "prop" after calling
of_node_put().

…

The of_get_property() function doesn't do a get as in get/put, it just finds
the property and returns it.  It doesn't bump the reference count.  It's a
confusing name in that way.  The The of_node_put() pairs with
of_find_node_by_name().

Thanks for your information.

* Do you see opportunities for improving the software documentation accordingly?

* How much can source code analysis tools influence development efforts?
