From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2017 16:38:44 +0100 Subject: mfd: twl6040: Fix child-node lookup
From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org
commit 85e9b13cbb130a3209f21bd7933933399c389ffe upstream.
Fix child-node lookup during probe, which ended up searching the whole device tree depth-first starting at the parent rather than just matching on its children.
To make things worse, the parent node was prematurely freed, while the child node was leaked.
Note that the CONFIG_OF compile guard can be removed as of_get_child_by_name() provides a !CONFIG_OF implementation which always fails.
