Hello Markus,
This is the simplified code pattern for it:

172         for (i = 0; ; i++) {
173                 state_node = of_parse_phandle(...);     ---> Obtain here
...
177                 match_id = of_match_node(matches, state_node);
178                 if (!match_id) {
179                         err = -ENODEV;                              
180                         break;                         --->  Jump out of the loop without releasing it
181                 }
182 
183                 if (!of_device_is_available(state_node)) {
184                         of_node_put(state_node);
185                         continue;                    --->  Release the object references within a loop
186                 }
...
208                 of_node_put(state_node);  -->  Release the object references within a loop
209         }
210 
211         of_node_put(state_node);       -->    There may be double free here.

This code pattern is very interesting and the coccinelle software should also recognize this pattern.

Regards,
Wen
