of_find_node_by_name() calls of_node_put() on its "from" parameter, which must not be done on "master", as it's still in use, and will be released manually later. This may cause a zero kref refcount. Use of_get_child_by_name() instead to fix this.
But of_find_node_by_name() searches *all* nodes, not just the children of the parameter. So this is a logic change AFAICS, and I have no idea what machines we'd need to test on to check it. So I think an of_node_get(master) would be safer and also fix the refcounting. cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
