Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: twl4030-charger: fix OF sibling-node lookup
Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the usb sibling
node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the
entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated
(non-sibling) node.
This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe
deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first
argument (i.e. the parent device node).
While at it, also fix the related phy-node reference leak.
Fixes: f5e4edb8c888 ("power: twl4030_charger: find associated phy by more reliable means.")
