From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com>
Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in the phandle cache. Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle() will incorrectly find the stale entry. This bug exposed the foloowing phandle cache refcount bug.
The refcount of phandle_cache entries is not incremented while in the cache, allowing use after free error after kfree() of the cached entry.
Changes since v1: - make __of_free_phandle_cache() static - add WARN_ON(1) for unexpected condition in of_find_node_by_phandle()
Frank Rowand (2): of: of_node_get()/of_node_put() nodes held in phandle cache of: __of_detach_node() - remove node from phandle cache
