Hi all, for_each_child_of_node() and similar functions increase the refcount on each returned node and expect the caller to release the node by calling of_node_put() when done. Looking through the kernel code, it appears this is hardly ever done, if at all. Some code even calls of_node_get() on returned nodes again. I guess this doesn't matter in cases where devicetree is a static entity. However, this is not (or no longer) the case with devicetree overlays, or more generically in cases where devicetree nodes are added and removed dynamically. Fundamental question: Would patches to fix this problem be accepted upstream ? Or, of course, stepping a bit back: Am I missing something essential ? Thanks, Guenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
