When of_find_net_device_by_node() successfully acquires a reference to a network device but the subsequent call to dsa_port_parse_cpu() fails, dsa_port_parse_of() returns without releasing the reference count on the network device.
of_find_net_device_by_node() increments the reference count of the returned structure, which should be balanced with a corresponding put_device() when the reference is no longer needed.
