Subject: [PATCH 4.14 121/125] device property: Dont clear secondary pointer for shared primary firmware node

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@...ux.intel.com>

commit 99aed9227073fb34ce2880cbc7063e04185a65e1 upstream.

It appears that firmware nodes can be shared between devices. In such case
when a (child) device is about to be deleted, its firmware node may be shared
and ACPI_COMPANION_SET(..., NULL) call for it breaks the secondary link
of the shared primary firmware node.

In order to prevent that, check, if the device has a parent and parent's
firmware node is shared with its child, and avoid crashing the link.

Fixes: c15e1bdda436 ("device property: Fix the secondary firmware node handling in set_primary_fwnode()")
