Here we allocate memory for the physical node...

.. and overwrite it here ;-)
Maybe using a different variable for the sanity check?
I've changed the SPI/I2C patches to use this as well and they got a lot
smaller as we don't have to do the .find_device() magic.
Once you have fixed the above, you can add my

to these two patches, if you like.
