I've tweaked your patch to make the above (buggy) change a little clearer.

The original above passes port->parent to component_match_add(). This means 'np' in the above compare_of() function is 'port->parent'.
This means the above comparison is effectively:
dev->of_node == port->parent
The generic code instead does this:
component_match_add(dev, &match, compare_of, port);
So what we get in the comparison function is 'port' rather than 'port->parent':
+static int compare_port(struct device *dev, void *data) {
- struct device_node *np = data;
- return dev->parent->of_node == np;
+}
which means the comparison is:
dev->parent->of_node == port
which is a different comparison from the above.
You instead want this to be:
return dev->of_node == np->parent;
Heiko, please test the above change to compare_port() - I think you'll find that will fix your issue.
Thanks.
