of_find_node_by_path() returns a pointer to a device_node with its
refcount incremented, and a call to of_node_put() is required to
decrement the refcount again and avoid leaking the resource.
If 'of_property_read_string_index(root, "compatible", 0, &tmp)' fails,
the function returns without calling of_node_put(root) before doing so.
The automatic cleanup attribute can be used by means of the __free()
macro to automatically call of_node_put() when the variable goes out of
scope, fixing the issue and also accounting for new error paths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
