[PATCH 05/23] powerpc/powermac: fix OF node refcount

From: Bartosz Golaszewski

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 05:07:04 EST


Platform devices created with platform_device_alloc() call
platform_device_release() when the last reference to the device's
kobject is dropped. This function calls of_node_put() unconditionally.
This works fine for devices created with platform_device_register_full()
but users of the split approach (platform_device_alloc() +
platform_device_add()) must bump the reference of the of_node they
assign manually. Add the missing call to of_node_get().
