of_get_next_parent can be used to simplify the while() loop and
avoid the need of a temp variable.

Can you do something with the loop in __of_translate_address, in 
drivers/of/address.c?  Is there not an iterator for this?

Hi Julia,

There does not seem to be any 'for_each_parent_of_node' or equivalent.

Best regards,

This conversion is OK, but the logic in the function is still wrong.

It uses of_get_property() inside the loop, but then drops the reference to the
node before dereferencing the p_bus_freq pointer, which could by then point to
junk if the node has been freed.

Instead it should use of_property_read_u32() to actually read the property
value before dropping the reference.

cheers

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
