This is caused by:

   platform_device_register()
    -> platform_device_unregister(to_platform_device(dev))
         freeing struct device
    -> of_node_clear_flag(dev->of_node, ...)
         writing to the freed device

The issue is solved by increasing the reference count before calling
of_platform_device_destroy() so freeing the device is postponed after
the call.

Why do you think this is Cavium specific?

 From my look of it, the problem is in of_platform_device_destroy. We
should save the node ptr before the unregister call and use that to
clear the flags.


I agree, forcing all users of the core functions like of_platform_device_destroy() to get this right every time is not likely to work.

Modifying of_platform_device_destroy() to make it safe to call from this context is preferable as it will lead to a more robust kernel overall.

Thanks,
