Hi,
Adding devicetree list, Julia, Rob and Tomi to Cc.

In general, if the device tree node is never used afterwards,
should this be just:
r = of_platform_populate(node, NULL, NULL, &pdev->dev);
of_node_put(dev_node);
if (r) {
...
}
If so, Julia might have a Coccinelle recpipe for it?
Regards,
Tony
