Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] state: copy backend of_path string
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 08:43:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474008220-7601-1-git-send-email-m.olbrich@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Caching pointers to device tree nodes or names is not save. The barebox
internal device tree may be changed by loading a new device tree or through
fixup handlers. As a result, the string may be deleted.
Use local copies of the full path instead.
