The call to of_parse_phandle returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last
usage.

Detected by coccinelle with the following warnings:
./drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx/xilinx_axienet_main.c:1624:1-7: ERROR: missing of_node_put; acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 1569, but without a corresponding object release within this function.

Applied.

How do you think about to move these put calls to an additional
jump target for the desired exception handling?

Hi Markus,

Please don't add kernel-janitors to the CC list in the middle of the
conversation.  Netdev people can review their own code.  We don't have a
copy of the patch your discussing and it's not even clear who you're
responding to.

regards,
dan carpenter

I find this information inappropriate because I quoted
a questionable change.

Will any contributors get interested in another update for
the implementation of the function “axienet_probe”?

I wonder about this feedback.
