Oops, yes that's right.

By that logic, you sign up for a lot of churn, these are but a few
examples:

s/of_find_device_by_node/of_get_device_by_node/
s/of_find_regulator_by_node/of_get_regulator_by_node/
s/of_find_spi_controller_by_node/of_get_spi_controller_by_node/
s/of_find_i2c_device_by_node/of_get_i2c_device_by_node/
s/of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node/of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node/

But there's already an of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node (that has slightly
different semantics) -> get ready for pushback.

So, I don't like the rename and would be much happier with a comment
above the function that the returned ref is supposed to be put away
when done.

Cheers,
Peter
