That's what I first thought, but it seems to just move around the
call to of_find_device_by_node that was first introduced in the
commit I mentioned. Did you build-test it successfully with
ca304fa9bb76 and CONFIG_OF enabled? I have to admit that I
was just guessing from the contents and did not bisect this
fully.

Right. The defconfigs were all fine, and this is hard to hit
even in the randconfig builds.

I think that would be less readable, and gives no compile-time coverage
to the contents of the edma_tc_set_pm_state function.

The effect is the same, so I'd rather stay with my version.
