Could you copy all recipients on all 3 patches plus your cover letter
next time so we have the full context? Thanks!

If you look further into that driver, you will see that we do something
like this in bcm7120_l2_intc_probe:

pdev = of_find_device_by_node(dn);
if (!pdev) {
ret = -ENODEV;
goto out_free_data;
}

which would be completely superfluous now that we pass a platform_device
directly. Can you rework your patch so as to eliminate that
of_find_device_by_ndoe() (and the companion put_device call)?
