I pushed a pretty much identical patch to OpenWrt (I just forgot
of_node_put()): commit 61f674df4f0c ("kernel: nvmem: fix "fixed-layout"
& support "mac-base""):
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=61f674df4f0ce2b1c53b0b7f6b0c1d03d99838c0

It's in use since July and seems to do the trick just fine.

Thanks for submitting this fix.
