So, everybody don't follow the API. Cool. :-)

In principle you are saying that the implementation of
for_each_child_of_node() API needs to be adopted for how users
actually use it, which means leave the of_node_get|put() to be done
entirely by the caller, right?

Agree. I didn't look at the code carefully enough. My patch is wrong!

So this discussion around $subject patch, turned out to have some
valuable outcome anyway. :-)
