Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: bm: fix device reference leak on failed lookup
Date: Thu,  9 Jul 2026 10:27:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709082713.829446-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Make sure to drop the reference taken to the buffer manager device when
attempting to look up its driver data before the driver has been bound.

Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away.

Fixes: 965cbbec7f20 ("net: mvneta: remove data pointer usage from device_node structure")
