Subject: of/address: Don't loop forever in of_find_matching_node_by_address().

From: David Daney <[email protected]>

commit 3a496b00b6f90c41bd21a410871dfc97d4f3c7ab upstream.

If the internal call to of_address_to_resource() fails, we end up looping forever in of_find_matching_node_by_address(). This can be caused by a defective device tree, or calling with an incorrect matches argument.

Fix by calling of_find_matching_node() unconditionally at the end of the loop.
