A number of drivers have been using the wrong OF helper when doing child-node
lookups during probe. This meant that they were doing tree-wide searches rather
than matching on child nodes and that the parent node could end up being
prematurely freed.

It appears these four have been sitting in your for-backlight-fixes 
branch for half a year now without being forwarded to Linus.

Don't get many backlight fixes these days, huh? ;)

Ha!  To be honest I think those patches are the only 4 -fixes I've
*ever* had for Backlight. :)

I have pulled them into the main branch, so they won't be forgotten
again.  Sorry for the delay.
