The difference is that no entry for attach works fine while accessing a detached node that may have been freed would be a problem. Rob

For system with CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC=y, device nodes can be inserted/removed dynamically from device tree. Meanwhile phandle_cache is created for fast lookup from phandle to device node. For node detach, phandle cache of removed node is invalidated to maintain the mapping up to date, but the counterpart operation on node attach is not implemented yet. Thus, implement the cache updating operation on node attach.
