[PATCH net] net: dsa: Keep a reference count on ethernet_dev

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Sat Jan 21 2017 - 12:41:54 EST


of_find_net_device_by_node() just returns a reference to a net_device but does
not increment its reference count, which means that the master network device
can just vanish under our feet.

Fixes: 83c0afaec7b7 ("net: dsa: Add new binding implementation")
