Device node iterators perform an of_node_put on each iteration, so putting
an of_node_put before a continue results in a double put.

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

// <smpl>
@@
expression e1;
local idexpression child;
iterator name for_each_child_of_node;
@@

 for_each_child_of_node(e1,child) {
   ... when != of_node_get(child)
*  of_node_put(child);
   ...
*  continue;
}
// </smpl>

Furthermore, the call to thermal_of_cooling_device_register immediately
calls __thermal_cooling_device_register with the same arguments.  The
latter function stores the device node argument, which is the second
argument of for_each_child_of_node, in the returned thermal_cooling_device
structure.  This returned structure is then stored in the cdev field of
stc.  Thus it seems that the second argument of for_each_child_of_node
escapes the scope of the for_each_child_of_node, so an explicit of_node_get
on success of thermal_of_cooling_device_register is also needed.

Thanks for fixing this. However, I am wondering if it is better for the
'of_node_get' to be placed within the
thermal_of_cooling_device_register() function as it seems a bit odd if
the caller needs to know that this is being stored for later use.

Also, taking a quick look, I see a couple other drivers calling
thermal_of_cooling_device_register() and they are also not calling
of_node_get on success. So it maybe easier to fix placing it in the
thermal_of_cooling_device_register() function.

Cheers
Jon

I'm not an expert, but I had the impression that from some call sites, the
get would have been done already, because the argument is already stored
in some structure.  I can check more exhaustively.

Julia, I agree with Jon here. Better if fixed in the API itself. Are you
still planning on sending a fix for this?

This has fallen off my stack, and I'mnot sure that Ican get to it in the
short term.
