[PATCH v1] ARM: Feroceon: Fix OF node and mapping leaks in L2 init

[PATCH v1] ARM: Feroceon: Fix OF node and mapping leaks in L2 init

[Yuho Choi]

of_find_matching_node() returns a referenced device node, and of_iomap()
creates a temporary mapping. feroceon_of_init() currently leaves both
resources around after init and also returns from the of_iomap() failure
path without dropping the node reference.

Unmap the register mapping after the register update and put the node on
both the failure and success paths.

What do you think happens to the machine if it cannot enable L2?  I
think you have much bigger problems than some minor resource leaks.

Please read

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

Does this patch fulfil those rules. Please could you point to bug
reports of the leaked resources, so we know it actually bothers
people.
