From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8dbe4c5d5e40fe140221024f7b16bec9f310bf70 ] of_find_node_by_name() will do an of_node_put() on the "from" argument. With CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC enabled which checks for device_node reference counts, we would be getting a warning like this: [ 6.347230] refcount_t: increment on 0; use-after-free.
