Subject: [POWERPC] Add of_get_next_parent()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4eb010706b6c96c136c7aaa9079159743f33fa8;p=mv-sheeva.git

[POWERPC] Add of_get_next_parent()

Iterating through a device node's parents is simple enough, but dealing
with the refcounts properly is a little ugly, and replicating that logic
is asking for someone to get it wrong or forget it all together, eg:

while (dn != NULL) {
	/* loop body */
	tmp = of_get_parent(dn);
	of_node_put(dn);
	dn = tmp;
}

So add of_get_next_parent(), inspired by of_get_next_child().  The
contract is that it returns the parent and drops the reference on the
current node, this makes the loop look like:

while (dn != NULL) {
	/* loop body */
	dn = of_get_next_parent(dn);
}
