Subject: [PATCH net] nfc: pn533: properly drop the usb interface reference on disconnect
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:28:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026022329-flashing-ought-7573@gregkh> (raw)
When the device is disconnected from the driver, there is a "dangling"
reference count on the usb interface that was grabbed in the probe
callback. Fix this up by properly dropping the reference after we are
done with it.
