Fine!

We have a similar error on OMAP5 here:

So it looks as if there are more get/put mismatches in the drivers which are usually not visible.

Further analysis turns out that we recently have enabled DRM_TILCDC_SLAVE_COMPAT=y
which we need to make our uImage additionally support the BeagleBone Black with LDC panel
(as mandated by arch/arm/boot/dts/am335x-boneblack.dts using “ti,tilcdc,slave”).

This automatically enables OF_OVERLAY which enables OF_DYNAMIC.

Obviously this now has unexpected side-effects on other systems with universal kernels configured
to support both, beaglebone and non-beaglebone devices.

So what is wrong? The sequence DRM_TILCDC_SLAVE_COMPAT => set OF_OVERLAY => set OF_DYNAMIC?

Or of_node_get/put() bugs in some drivers revealed by running the unit tests?

I have added Tomi to the discussion and we will try to understand/fix omapdss_of_find_source_for_first_ep().

Nikolaus
