[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/pmac: Fix DT refcount imbalance in pmac_pic_probe_oldstyle

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Wed Jan 14 2015 - 08:52:07 EST


of_find_node_by_name() calls of_node_put() on its "from" parameter,
which must not be done on "master", as it's still in use, and will be
released manually later. This may cause a zero kref refcount.
Use of_get_child_by_name() instead to fix this.
