From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2018 10:21:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] NFC: nfcmrvl_uart: fix OF child-node lookup
Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the nfc child node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node.
This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first argument (i.e. the parent node).
