Well I don't think ofnode should use long for of_offset, since int
should be enough.

ofnode_to_offset() converts an ofnode to a DT offset but only if it is
not using livetree. With livetree there are no offsets so this is not
going to work. If you define OF_CHECKS you will see that.

Note that an ofnode can either hold a pointer or an offset. There are
detailed comments on ofnode_union to explain how it is supposed to
work.

This patch looks correct to me, but perhaps there is something else going on?

Regards,
Simon
