I dont have your original patch in my mailbox, but I wonder if
returning a pointer to property string for a node whose reference has
already been released is safe to do? Probably not an issue for the root
node, but still feels counter-intuitive.
This is the code for reference:
+int of_machine_get_model_name(const char **model)
+{
+ int error;
+
+ if (!of_node_get(of_root))
+ return -EINVAL;
+
+ error = of_property_read_string(of_root, "model", model);
+ if (error)
+ error = of_property_read_string_index(of_root, "compatible",
+ 0, model);
+ of_node_put(of_root);
+
+ return error;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_machine_get_model_name);
Thanks,
Sekhar
