Frank Rowand d9194e009e of: dynamic: add lifecycle docbook info to node creation functions
The existing docbook comments for the functions related to creating
a devicetree node do not explain the reference count of a newly
created node, how decrementing the reference count to zero will
free the associated memory, and the caller's responsibility to
call of_node_put() on the node.  Explain what happens when the
reference count is decremented to zero.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
