Sorry, I take back my Acked-by.

We shouldn't be putting the ports here - we're still retaining a
reference against the port, even though it's by address.  Yes, we have
no way to release this reference, which probably ought to be fixed.
Please replace this of_node_put() here with a comment to that effect.

Same here.
