I try to explain as following: First, there is an old reference (pointer) pointing to device_node A and stored in data->np. Then, in the for_each_xxx iteration, 'np' is a new reference (pointer) pointing to device_node B. After 'data->np = np' is done, the old reference is destroyed and its refcount should be decreased. Similarly, a new reference to devce_node B is created in 'data->np', so its refcount should be increased. Sorry if my understanding is wrong or if I do not catch your point. Thans again, Liang
