This is caused by:

  platform_device_register()
   -> platform_device_unregister(to_platform_device(dev))
	freeing struct device
   -> of_node_clear_flag(dev->of_node, ...)
	writing to the freed device

The issue is solved by increasing the reference count before calling
of_platform_device_destroy() so freeing the device is postponed after
the call.
