When of_property_read_u32_array() returns an error code,
a pairing refcount decrement is needed to keep np's refcount balanced.
Can another imperative wording be helpful for the change description?

Would an other commit message be a bit nicer?

I propose to add the jump target “put_node” so that a bit of common exception
handling code can be better reused at the end of this function implementation.

You can safely ignore any review comments from Markus!

However, this patch doesn't appear to be in my inbox.

Any ideas as to why?
Thank you for your advice. My outbox shows that this patch
has reached your email server successfully. Maybe this
ended up in your junk mail file?
This has happened recently, so I was sure to check.

Not there either unfortunately.

Would you be kind enough to bounce/resend please?
Sure.
Looks like you sent it *only* to me.  Please keep everyone else in Cc
when doing that, or I can't respond to everyone.

Anyway, besides the subject line (which I can fix easily), the patch
looks good to me, but Daniel T must review.
I've already offered a Reviewed-by for this patch. Perhaps it landed in
the same place as the original patch...


Daniel.
