of_get_property() is used inside the loop, but then the reference to the node is dropped before dereferencing the prop pointer, which could by then point to junk if the node has been freed. Instead use of_property_read_u32() to actually read the property value before dropping the reference. Use of_get_next_parent to simplify code.
