of_find_compatible_node() increments the node's refcount, and it must be
decremented again with a call to of_node_put() when the pointer is no
longer required to avoid leaking the resource.

Instead of adding the missing calls to of_node_put() in all execution
paths, use the cleanup attribute for 'arm_timer' by means of the
__free() macro, which automatically calls of_node_put() when the
variable goes out of scope.

This series adds the missing calls to of_node_put(arm_timer) to release
the resource, and then switches to the more robust approach that makes
use of the automatic cleanup facility (not available for all stable
kernels).
