[PATCH] irqchip/ls-extirq: fix resource leak in ls_extirq_parse_map()

[jackysliu]

From: Siyang Liu <1972843537@qq.com>

The ls_extirq_parse_map function uses of_find_node_by_phandle() to obtain
interrupt parent nodes within a loop, but fails to release the reference
count on these nodes. This results in a kernel memory leak as the node
reference counts continuously increase.

Add of_node_put() calls to properly release the references when the nodes
are no longer needed

ls_extirq_parse_map() uses ...

There is no continous increase as each ipar node is only looked up and
referenced exactly once. So this leaks exactly ONE reference count per
node.

I see only one call, not several calls...

That's the wrong point as this might not be reached because of the
following checks before the inner loop:

		ret = of_property_read_u32(ipar, "#interrupt-cells", &intsize);
		if (ret)
			return ret;

		if (intsize > mapsize)
			return -EINVAL;

Please don't add put() calls in every error return path. _ONE_ put() at
the proper place is sufficient.

Thanks,
