Subject: [PATCH net] net: tn40xx: fix swnode use-after-free on probe failure
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 11:00:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110100051.2567443-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

The mdiobus allocated by tn40_mdiobus_init() has no primary firmware
node so its firmware node pointer points to the secondary software node
added by device_add_software_node() and whose reference is released by
device_remove_software_node().

Drop the stray firmware node reference decrement on probe failure and
driver unbind which leads to a use-after-free when deregistering the
software node group as the parent MDIO node has been freed before the
child PHY node.

Fixes: 25b6a6d29d40 ("net: tn40xx: create swnode for mdio and aqr105 phy and add to mdiobus")
