Hi Johannes:
Thanks for your feedback. I will drop it.

You still haven't explained why it's even correct.

The for_each_child_of_node() function is used to iterate over all child
nodes of a device tree node.
During each iteration, it retrieves a pointer to the child node via
of_get_next_child() and automatically increments the node's reference
count (of_node_get()).
Each call to of_get_next_child() increases the reference count
(refcount) of the returned child node, ensuring that the node is not
freed while in use.
for_each_child_of_node() increments the child node's reference count in
each iteration but does not decrement it automatically.
If of_node_put() is not called manually, the reference count will never
reach zero, resulting in a memory leak of the node.
Yes, good! Now show that you can apply what you've learned to the
specific code (and changes) at hand.
