Herve Codina 5c47251e8c lib/vsprintf: Fix %pfwf when current node refcount == 0
A refcount issue can appeared in __fwnode_link_del() due to the
pr_debug() call:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 901 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xe5/0x110
  Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  ...
  of_node_get+0x1e/0x30
  of_fwnode_get+0x28/0x40
  fwnode_full_name_string+0x34/0x90
  fwnode_string+0xdb/0x140
  ...

  ...
  __fwnode_link_del+0x25/0xa0
  fwnode_links_purge+0x39/0xb0
  of_node_release+0xd9/0x180
  ...

Indeed, an fwnode (of_node) is being destroyed and so, of_node_release()
is called because the of_node refcount reached 0.
From of_node_release() several function calls are done and lead to
a pr_debug() calls with %pfwf to print the fwnode full name.
The issue is not present if we change %pfwf to %pfwP.

To print the full name, %pfwf iterates over the current node and its
parents and obtain/drop a reference to all nodes involved.

In order to allow to print the full name (%pfwf) of a node while it is
being destroyed, do not obtain/drop a reference to this current node.

Fixes: a92eb7621b ("lib/vsprintf: Make use of fwnode API to obtain node names and separators")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
