Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: gamecube: Fix refcount leak in gamecube_rtc_read_offset_from_sram The of_find_compatible_node() function returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, We should use of_node_put() on it when done Add the missing of_node_put() to release the refcount.
