42returns the phandle for the node specified by the

44Returns -1 if the path cannot be found in the tree.
40.Fn OF_finddevice
41returns the phandle for the node specified by the

43Returns -1 if the path cannot be found in the tree.
45.Sh CAVEATS
46The return value should only be checked with equality
47operators (equal to, not equal to) and not relational comparison
48(less than, greater than ).
49There is a discrepancy between IEEE 1275 standard and
50.Fx Ns 's
51internal representation of a phandle: IEEE 1275
52requires the return value of this function to be -1 if the path
53is not found.
54But phandle_t is an unsigned type, so it cannot
55be relationally compared with -1 or 0, this comparison
56is always true or always false.
