Frank Rowand 5801169a2e of: __of_detach_node() - remove node from phandle cache ...

Non-overlay dynamic devicetree node removal may leave the node in
the phandle cache.  Subsequent calls to of_find_node_by_phandle()
will incorrectly find the stale entry.  Remove the node from the
cache.

Add paranoia checks in of_find_node_by_phandle() as a second level
of defense (do not return cached node if detached, do not add node
to cache if detached).

Fixes: 0b3ce78e90 ("of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()")
