4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: H. Nikolaus Schaller <hns@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c52c545ead97fcc2f4f8ea38f1ae3c23211e09a8 upstream. commit e7ec014a47e4 ("Input: twl6040-vibra - update for device tree support") made the separate vibra DT node to a subnode of the twl6040. It now calls of_find_node_by_name() to locate the "vibra" subnode. This function has a side effect to call of_node_put on() for the twl6040 parent node passed in as a parameter. This causes trouble later on. Solution: we must call of_node_get() before of_find_node_by_name() Signed-off-by: H.
