    drivers/of: Validate device node in __unflatten_device_tree() · 89c67752
    Gavin Shan authored
    @mynodes is set to NULL when __unflatten_device_tree() is called
    to unflatten device sub-tree in PCI hot add scenario on PowerPC
    PowerNV platform. Marking @mynodes detached unconditionally causes
    kernel crash as below backtrace shows:

    This avoids the kernel crash by marking @mynodes detached only when
    @mynodes is dereferencing valid device node in __unflatten_device_tree().
