4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org
commit 5d1e9c2212ea6b4dd735e4fc3dd6279a365d5d10 upstream.
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 node of the device being probed).
While at it, also fix a related nfc-node reference leak.

Looks like of_get_compatible_child() has been introduced in 4.18, hence this error.
Greg, can you drop this patch from 4.14.y?
Yes, my fault, I fixed a number of these in the past, missed this one :(
Now dropped.
The intention here was that the helper should be backported along with the fixes. I mentioned this in the cover letter to the series introducing the helper and the fixes. As they were submitted together I could not use the usual
Cc: stable stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.xx: 36156f9241cb
notation for this. I realise I should still have mentioned this in each individual commit messages as well, sorry about that.
The dependency for all of these fixes is:
36156f9241cb ("of: add helper to lookup compatible child node")
