commit 5c47251e8c4903111608ddcba2a77c0c425c247c upstream.
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:

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: a92eb7621b9f ("lib/vsprintf: Make use of fwnode API to obtain node names and separators")

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.
