net: dsa: sja1105: fix use-after-free after calling of_find_compatible_node, or worse
It seems that of_find_compatible_node has a weird calling convention in
which it calls of_node_put() on the "from" node argument, instead of
leaving that up to the caller. This comes from the fact that
of_find_compatible_node with a non-NULL "from" argument it only supposed
to be used as the iterator function of for_each_compatible_node(). OF
iterator functions call of_node_get on the next OF node and of_node_put()
on the previous one.
When of_find_compatible_node calls of_node_put, it actually never
expects the refcount to drop to zero, because the call is done under the
atomic devtree_lock context, and when the refcount drops to zero it
triggers a kobject and a sysfs file deletion, which assume blocking
context.
So any driver call to of_find_compatible_node is probably buggy because
an unexpected of_node_put() takes place.
What should be done is to use the of_get_compatible_child() function.
