Subject[RFC PATCH] OF: fix of_find_node_by_path() assumption that of_allnodes is root
From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@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

Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sonymobile.com>

Pantelis,

Can you test whether the problem you reported in irc?

This patch has not been tested, not even compile tested.
