Subject: [PATCH 4.19 269/361] NFC: nfcmrvl_uart: fix OF child-node lookup

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 5bf59773aaf36dd62117dc83d50e1bbf9ef432da upstream.

Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the nfc child
node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the
entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated
(i.e. non-child) node.

This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe
deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first
argument (i.e. the parent node).

Fixes: d8e018c0b321 ("NFC: nfcmrvl: update device tree bindings for Marvell NFC")
