# \[PATCH v3 01/20\] powerpc/powermac: fix OF node refcount - From: Bartosz Golaszewski \ - Date: 2026-07-06 12:44:58 - List: linuxppc-dev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linuxppc-dev/2026/07/17218955 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2026/07/17218951/t.md ```text Platform devices created with platform_device_alloc() call platform_device_release() when the last reference to the device's kobject is dropped. This function calls of_node_put() unconditionally. This works fine for devices created with platform_device_register_full() but users of the split approach (platform_device_alloc() + platform_device_add()) must bump the reference of the of_node they assign manually. Add the missing call to of_node_get().
