[PATCH v1] PCI: rcar: Release temporary device tree node reference

[PATCH v1] PCI: rcar: Release temporary device tree node reference

[Yuho Choi]

of_find_matching_node() returns a referenced node even when it is used
only as a boolean test. Keep the result in a scoped cleanup variable
so the reference is released after the match check.

How about this simpler version:

"

"

Also, and this is more of a question for DT maintainers, would it make 
sense to introduce of_find_matching_node_and_match() variant called e.g. 
of_test_matching_node_exists() which would return boolean and would NOT 
call of_node_get() on the matched node in the first place, and then use 
it here ?
