Right, in this particular case 'of_node_put()' should be both on error
and normal paths.

Functionally it looks good, I have two comments though.

1) you don't need to revert 151b8c5ba1eb, the commit is a proper fix
   per se but incomplete, please add your change on top of it,

2) minimizing the lines of code by removing duplicates is always good,
   so here a better and complete fix will be like the following one:

	sys2pci_np = of_find_node_by_name(NULL, "sys2pci");
	if (!sys2pci_np)
		return -EINVAL;

	ret = of_address_to_resource(sys2pci_np, 0, &res);
	of_node_put(sys2pci_np);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	pmx->sys2pci_base = devm_ioremap_resource(&pdev->dev, &res);
	if (IS_ERR(pmx->sys2pci_base))
		return -ENOMEM;
