As I just noted in the thread for v1 of this patch, calling
of_node_put(root) while keeping a reference to its compatible property
for later use sounds really broken.

I think it is safest to fix this by not including the compatible name in
error message at all. The error message will be little less descriptive,
but thats better than adding questionable code.

Thats what Frank suggested first up, but I did not realize at that time
that printing compatible name will be this much effort.

Can you please send a v4?

Thanks,
Sekhar
