Hello Wan, thank you for this patch.

Yeah, it makes sense to me. 

for_each_node_with_property calls of_find_node_with_property() at each
step, which ends up calling of_node_put() after using each node.

Introducing this break caused this of_node_put not to happen to the
last node, so IIUC this patch fixes a possible issue if kzalloc() fails
in ddw_list_new_entry().

Another option would be s/break/continue here, but it does not make
sense to keep trying next nodes if there is no memory to allocate for a
struct dma_win (4 pointers).

On the other hard, failing on allocating such small space should not
happen often (if it will ever happen), so a 'continue' here makes code
simpler.  
 
Anyway, FWIW:
