Every iteration of for_each_child_of_node() decrements the reference count of the previous node, however when control is transferred from the middle of the loop, as in the case of a return or break or goto, there is no decrement thus ultimately resulting in a memory leak.
Fix a potential memory leak in mt7530.c by inserting of_node_put() before the break and return statements. Issue found with Coccinelle. --- Changes in v2: Add another of_node_put() in for_each_child_of_node() as pointed out by Andrew.
