I think the function above (dra7xx_pcie_init_irq_domain) can do the 
of_node_put at its end in all cases as suggested by Kishon.

of_get_next_child() will increment the refcount
	irq_domain_add_linear()
		__irq_domain_add() also increments the refcount


irq_domain_remove() will decrement the refcount

So it should be safe to decrement the refcount in 
dra7xx_pcie_init_irq_domain() in all cases as the irq-domain internals will 
always keep it above 1 as long as the node is used.
