Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the nfc child node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node. This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first argument (i.e. the node of the device being probed). While at it, also fix a related nfc-node reference leak.

I'll let Miquel queue this patch to the nand/next branch, unless you want it to be merged in 4.19, in which case I'll queue it to the mtd/fixes branch.Note that there's a dependency on the first patch of the series which adds the new helper.I was not Cc-ed on this patch :P.Yeah, sorry about that. I made sure everyone was CCed on the cover letter, but guess I could have reused that list for the helper as well.quoted

Rob can pick up the entire series if the various maintainers agree, otherwise I'll try to get at the least the helper into -rc2.If everything goes in 4.19-rc2 through Rob's tree that's fine, but if it's queued for 4.20 we might need an immutable tag just in case we queue conflicting changes to the NAND tree.Ok, thanks.Hi Boris, can you pick this one up. It conflicts with "mtd: rawnand: atmel: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference"Sure, I'll queue it for -rc2.This one hasn't showed up in -next yet, so sending a reminder.
Applied (thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten :-)). It should show up in -rc4. Thanks, Boris
