From: Frank Rowand <frank.row...@sonymobile.com>
Pantelis Antoniou reports that of_find_node_by_path() is borked because
of_allnodes is not guaranteed to contain the root of the tree after using
any of the dynamic update functions because some other nodes ends up as
of_allnodes.
Fixes: c22e650e66b8 of: Make of_find_node_by_path() handle /aliases

Pantelis,
Can you test whether the problem you reported in irc?
This patch has not been tested, not even compile tested.
