Subject: [PATCH v2] clk/samsung: fix parent clock refcount leak in exynos_clkout_probe
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2026 20:54:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260628125422.45267-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
of_clk_get_by_name() acquires clock references stored in the local
parents[] array. All error paths correctly release these via the clks_put
label, but the success path returns 0 without releasing the parent
references. The references were only needed to obtain clock names for
registration and are permanently leaked after probe completes.
Suggested-by: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
