The function calls of_parse_phandle() to get a device node, which increments the reference count of the node. However, the function fails to call of_node_put() to decrement the reference. This leads to a reference count leak.
This is found by static analysis and similar to the commit a508e33956b5 ("ipmi:ipmb: Fix refcount leak in ipmi_ipmb_probe")

If it can be done here, it may as well be done before the check above.

It would be more prudent to hold this reference throughout the scope though and release it when the scope is left.
