3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]> commit d397dbe606120a1ea1b11b0020c3f7a3852da5ac upstream. Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the mdio child node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node. This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first argument (i.e. the node of the device being probed).
