From 9c19761a7ecdc86abb2fba0feb81e8952eccc1f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivas Kandagatla Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 08:10:28 +0100 Subject: dt: introduce of_get_child_by_name to get child node by name This patch introduces of_get_child_by_name function to get a child node by its name in a given parent node. Without this patch each driver code has to iterate the parent and do a string compare, However having of_get_child_by_name libary function would avoid code duplication, errors and is more convenient.
