[PATCHv2] of: Document exactly what of_find_node_by_name() puts

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Fri Nov 17 2017 - 11:53:33 EST


It isn't clear if this function of_node_put()s the 'from'
argument, or the node it searches. Clearly indicate which
variable is touched. Fold in some more fixes from Randy too
because we're in the area.
