I take that back. Your change does work for me. Must have had something stale.

fdt_next_node is in fact correct. Changing it caused failures in the
dtc unit tests.

So I have squashed the above fix into your original fix and pushed
that out to -next. kernelci.org is also seeing some failures due to
this. I'll give this another day or so before sending to Linus.
