Assuming you mean the of_node_reused flag, looks like it already
being set, your code does this:

@@ -864,6 +864,7 @@ struct platform_device *ci_hdrc_add_device(struct device *dev,
	pdev->dev.parent = dev;
	+ device_set_of_node_from_dev(&pdev->dev, dev);

And that function does this:

void device_set_of_node_from_dev(struct device *dev, const struct device *dev2)
{
	of_node_put(dev->of_node);
	dev->of_node = of_node_get(dev2->of_node);
	dev->of_node_reused = true;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(device_set_of_node_from_dev);

I guess maybe that flag doesn't do what it is supposed to for
some reason?

Thanks,
Charles
