The of_node_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

I don't think that the call should be there at all.  The loop only exits
when afu_np is NULL.  Furthermore, the loop should not be written as a for
loop, but rather with for_each_child_of_node.
