It's possible, albeit unlikely, that using the of_node here will
reference freed memory. Call of_node_put() after printing the
name to be safe.

Yeah, I agree this needs changing but given (a) the CPU node isn't going
to disappear and (b) this patch will conflict horribly with my queue for
4.2, do you mind if I sit on this until after the merge window (as a fix
for 4.2)?
