I think you should explain that of_find_node_by_name() drops a reference
to the from pointer, it is not clear from the log.
More importantly: are you saying that all of_find_node_by_name() usages
with a (from* != NULL) are broken unless they bump up the from node (if
!= NULL) ref count ?
Is there a reason why of_find_node_by_name() behaviour can't be changed ?

Do we really want to send this to stable kernels straight away ?
There is not any specific bug report - it should be safe but I
wanted to ask.
