Reference to the 'np' node is dropped before dereferencing the 'sizep' and
'basep' pointers, which could by then point to junk if the node has been
freed.

Refactor code to call 'of_node_pup' later.

Is there anyone able to provide Tested-by for this?

Christophe, were you able to reproduce the crash (insmod/rmmod couple
of times maybe?) and validate that it was gone after fixing the bug?

Hi,
no, I never triggered the bug.
This is just something noticed while looking at potential issues related 
to incorrect use of 'of_node_pup'.
I only compile tested the patch.

Best regards,
CJ

The fix is so obvious that I see no reason not to include it. Thanks for
the good work.

I'm getting

$ git am ~/tmp/of-fix.patch 
Applying: TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory
error: patch failed: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c:53
error: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
   /home/jsakkine/projects/tpm2/git/linux-tpmdd/.git/rebase-apply/patch
   When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
   If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
   To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am
   --abort".

I'm applying this against Linus tree (4.3-rc7).
