Subject: [PATCH] slimbus: ngd: Fix reference count leak in qcom_slim_ngd_notify_slaves
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:06:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027060601.33228-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)
The function qcom_slim_ngd_notify_slaves() calls of_slim_get_device() which
internally uses device_find_child() to obtain a device reference.
According to the device_find_child() documentation,
the caller must drop the reference with put_device() after use.
Found via static analysis and this is similar to commit 4e65bda8273c
("ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in wcd934x_codec_parse_data()")
Fixes: 917809e2280b ("slimbus: ngd: Add qcom SLIMBus NGD driver")
