<id>urn:sha1:34276bb062b8449b3b0a208c9b848a1a27920075</id>
<content type='text'>
The called of_graph_get_next_endpoint() already decrements the refcount
of the prev node, so it is wrong to do it again in the calling function.

Use the for_each_endpoint_of_node() helper to interate through the
endpoint OF nodes, which already does the right thing and simplifies
the code a bit.

Fixes: 8ccd0d0ca041
(of: add helper for getting endpoint node of specific identifiers)

The of_node_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

This provides an equivalent of of_fdt_match() for non-flat trees.

This is more practical than matching an array of of_device_id structs
when converting a bunch of existing users of of_fdt_match().

Clean-up all the DT printk functions to use common pr_fmt prefix.

Some print statements such as kmalloc errors were redundant, so just
drop those.

<id>urn:sha1:d9fc880723321dbf16b2981e3f3e916b73942210</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a memory leak resulting from memory allocation in safe_name().
This patch fixes all call sites of safe_name().

Mathieu Malaterre reported the memory leak on boot:

On my PowerMac device-tree would generate a duplicate name:

[    0.023043] device-tree: Duplicate name in PowerPC,G4@0, renamed to "l2-cache#1"

in this case a newly allocated name is generated by `safe_name`. However
in this case it is never deallocated.

The bug was found using kmemleak reported as:

unreferenced object 0xdf532e60 (size 32):
  comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294892300 (age 1993.532s)

Pull devicetree updates from Rob Herring:

 - Rewrite of the unflattening code to avoid recursion and lessen the
   stack usage.

 - Rewrite of the phandle args parsing code to get rid of the fixed args
   size.  This is needed for IOMMU code.

 - Sync to latest dtc which adds more dts style checking.  These
   warnings are enabled with "W=1" compiles.

 - Tegra documentation updates related to the above warnings.

 - A bunch of spelling and other doc fixes.

 - Various vendor prefix additions.

The validity of the property input argument to of_remove_property() is
never checked within the function and thus it is possible to pass a null
value. It happens that this will be picked up in __of_remove_property()
as no matching property of the device node will be found and thus an
error will be returned, however once again there is no explicit check
for a null value. By the time this is detected 2 locks have already been
acquired which is completely unnecessary if the property to remove is
null.

Add an explicit check in the function of_remove_property() for a null
property value and return -ENODEV in this case, this is consistent with
what the previous return value would have been when the null value was
not detected and passed to __of_remove_property().

By moving an explicit check for the property paramenter into the
of_remove_property() function, this will remove the need to perform this
check in calling code before invocation of the of_remove_property()
function.

This function increments refcount.  This is worth noting.

This helper function can be used to copy the arguments of a
phandle to an array.
