Whatever happened with this thread from Feb. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250207013117.104205-1-zhangzeku...@huawei.com/
The issue was that people weren't expecting of_find_node_by_name() to drop the reference on the of_node. The patchset introduced a wrapper which basically worked as expected except no liked the naming. Krzysztof suggested that maybe the callers should be using of_get_child_by_name() instead. I created a Smatch warning for this and here are the four issues it found. The line numbers are from linux-next. drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/asp2/bcmasp.c:1370 bcmasp_probe() warn: 'dev->of_node' was not incremented drivers/net/pse-pd/tps23881.c:505 tps23881_get_of_channels() warn: 'priv->np' was not incremented drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/core.c:301 venus_add_video_core() warn: 'dev->of_node' was not incremented drivers/regulator/tps6594-regulator.c:618 tps6594_regulator_probe() warn: 'tps->dev->of_node' was not incremented regards, dan carpenter
