The of_parse_phandle() increases the refcount for node it returns.
>From documentation:

/**
 * Returns the device_node pointer with refcount incremented.  Use
 * of_node_put() on it when done.
 */

The function returns error condition but node was found and its refcnt
was incremented. Then why do you think that of_node_put() is not
necessary here?

Then how to decrease the refcnt for node obtained in
devfreq_get_event_dev_by_phandle()?
