Thanks for catching the problem, Julia, but the fix is not quite correct.  My
code assumes that of_parse_phandle() doesn't claim the node, but it doesn't
actually use the node pointer, either.  All I care about is whether 'np' is
equal to dma_channel_np.  I'm not going to use 'np'.  So I think the real fix is
this:

@@ -880,10 +880,12 @@ static struct device_node *find_ssi_node(struct
device_node *dma_channel_np)
 		np = of_parse_phandle(ssi_np, "fsl,playback-dma", 0);
+		of_node_put(np);
 		if (np == dma_channel_np)
 			return ssi_np;

 		np = of_parse_phandle(ssi_np, "fsl,capture-dma", 0);
+		of_node_put(np);
 		if (np == dma_channel_np)
 			return ssi_np;
 	}

 	return NULL;
