An of_node_put(bk_node) call was immediately used after a pointer check
for an of_get_property() call in this function implementation.
Thus call such a function only once instead directly before the check.

It seems pointless to perform a put immediately after a get. Shouldn't 
of_find_property() be used instead ? And then of_property_read_string() 
would probably be better.

Maybe you can even use of_property_match_string().

Yes that would clean it up nicely I think, eg:

int pmac_has_backlight_type(const char *type)
{
        struct device_node* bk_node = of_find_node_by_name(NULL, "backlight");
        int i;

        i = of_property_match_string(bk_node, "backlight-control", type);
        of_node_put(bk_node);

        return i >= 0;
}
