commit 5c47251e8c4903111608ddcba2a77c0c425c247c upstream.
A refcount issue can appeared in __fwnode_link_del() due to the
pr_debug() call:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 901 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xe5/0x110
Call Trace:
<TASK>
...
of_node_get+0x1e/0x30

...
Indeed, an fwnode (of_node) is being destroyed and so, of_node_release()
is called because the of_node refcount reached 0.
>From of_node_release() several function calls are done and lead to
a pr_debug() calls with %pfwf to print the fwnode full name.
The issue is not present if we change %pfwf to %pfwP.
To print the full name, %pfwf iterates over the current node and its
parents and obtain/drop a reference to all nodes involved.
In order to allow to print the full name (%pfwf) of a node while it is
being destroyed, do not obtain/drop a reference to this current node.
Fixes: a92eb7621b9f ("lib/vsprintf: Make use of fwnode API to obtain node names and separators")
