We may be talking two different things here, I understand that this
patch would create an issue with inserting a resource twice in the
devicetrees with overlapping resources (just like the commit that was
reverted above), but the crash is on devices with resources whose
parent, child, sibling pointers have never been initialized (the
of_device_add path does not touch these at all), and get dereferenced in
platform_device_del()->release_resource(). See the following that has a
better explanation [1].
