The for_each_child_of_node() macro automatically decrements the child
refcount at the end of every iteration. On early exits, of_node_put()
must be used to manually decrement the refcount and avoid memory leaks.
The scoped version of the macro accounts for such early breaks, fixing
the early exits without the need for explicit calls to of_node_put().

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.
