[PATCH net] wifi: brcmfmac: release 'root' node in all execution paths

[Javier Carrasco]

The fixed patch introduced an additional condition to enter the scope
where the 'root' device_node is released (!settings->board_type,
currently 'err'), which avoid decrementing the refcount with a call to
of_node_put() if that second condition is not satisfied.

Move the call to of_node_put() to the point where 'root' is no longer
required to avoid leaking the resource if err is not zero.

Note that a call to of_node_put() on a NULL device_node has no effect,
which simplifies this patch as there is no need to refactor the or
add more conditions.

Wireless patches go to wireless trees, not net. But no need to resend because
of this. And I think wireless-next is approriate for this fix.

Sorry, the second link from your signature explains very well what I
should have done. I will keep that in mind for the next patch(es) to
wireless.

Thank you and best regards,
