The problem manifests itself as an unblanaced of node reference.
The node is released mistakenly at of_node_put() and this is caught as
sleep-in-atomic, fortunately.

So likely either something forgot to take the node ref or it hits the
unreference due to the missing object by the implicit probe disorder,
etc, I suppose.
