typo.  :-)

Looks reasonable to me. Comment below, but otherwise:

Should protect against unterminated strings. Use of_property_read_string()

Having to do a strdup is kind of ugly and expensive when the only
problem is the terminating colon. I would rather see
of_find_node_by_path modified to do the right thing by ignoring the
colon which is illegal in path names anyway.

The strdup is unnecessary. tmp_option is already null terminated, is
immutable, and contains the data you need.

Please reverse the to eliminate the non-error goto:
	of_stdout = of_find_node_by_path(tmp);
	if (of_stdout)
		of_stdout_option = tmp_option++;
	kfree(tmp);

Move the of_chosen check directly into the function.
