[PATCH v1] of: Put coreboot node after compatibility check

From: Yuho Choi

Date: Sat Aug 01 2026 - 22:38:38 EST


of_find_compatible_node() returns a referenced device node, but
EXCLUDED_DEFAULT_CELLS_PLATFORMS used the result only as a boolean and
discarded the reference. This leaked a reference each time the
address-cells or size-cells warning condition was evaluated on a
coreboot system.

Use a helper that drops the node reference after checking whether the
coreboot node exists.

Fixes: 8600058ba28a7 ("of: Add coreboot firmware to excluded default cells list")
