In pci_add_device_node_info(), we should use of_node_put() for the
reference 'parent' returned by of_get_parent() to keep refcount
balance.

NACK

pdn->parent is now a long term reference so we should not do a put on parent
until we pdn->parent is no longer valid.

Hi, Tyrel

Thanks for reviewing this code.

But I think there is some confusion about the of_get_parent() and I can confirm
my point when I check the 'pci_remove_device_node_info' function, which may be
a second bug.

In pci_remove_device_node_info(), I notice the comment, 'Drop the parent pci_dn's ref ...'.
However, of_get_parent() will increase the refcount of the parent, and then the
following of_node_put() will decrease the refcount, so, finally, there is no any change.

Back to this case, as the 'pdn->parent' is not the reference of parent device_node, it is
device_node's data, so I think it is better to keep the original meaning of refcounting, i.e,
add a of_node_put() to keep the refcount balance.

If I have some mis-understanding, please correct me.

Thanks,

Liang

I withdraw my NACK. On closer inspection pdn->parent is a reference to the
parent struct pci_dn and not a reference to a parent struct device_node.
