thermal/drivers/imx_sc_thermal: Fix refcount leak in imx_sc_thermal_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/drivers/imx_sc_thermal: Fix refcount leak in imx_sc_thermal_probe of_find_node_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done. Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
