Yes good point, see below

It got lost with the refactoring of the code, but I don't think we need
it anymore

Thank you. I removed the cast. Also, I think that it makes more sense to
do the depth increase (depth + 1) inside the implementation of
device_tree_for_each_node instead of at the caller site, like it is done
in this patch. This would match the documentation better and is cleaner
from an interface point of view. So I'll remove the depth increase from
this patch and move it to the first patch (min_depth = depth + 1).

Given the change, I won't add the acked-by to give you the chance to
give it another look.
