It is > really surprising behavior. I agree that it is quite unexpected and would be much easier to understand if it would not put the node. But I guess it is intended to be a convenience to make it easier to walk down the tree, i.e. that you can simply write np = of_find_node_by_name(NULL, “level11”); np = of_find_node_by_name(np, “level2”); np = of_find_node_by_name(np, “level3”); Otherwise it would need some temporary variable and explicit calls to put the parent level after finding a child node. On the other hand greping for of_find_node_by_name returns many more calls with parent = NULL than others. So the put is ignored anyways. But it is a major change in semantics of a very low level function so it is easy to introduce regressions (especially in out-of-the tree drivers).
