Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/bridge: imx8qxp-pxl2dpi: avoid of_node_put() on ERR_PTR()
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:45:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420024559.114664-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)

imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_get_available_ep_from_port() may return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)
or ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). imx8qxp_pxl2dpi_find_next_bridge() stores that
value in a __free(device_node) variable and then immediately checks
IS_ERR(ep).

On the error path, returning from the function triggers the cleanup
handler for __free(device_node). Since the device_node cleanup helper
only checks for NULL before calling of_node_put(), this results in
of_node_put(ERR_PTR(...)), which may lead to an invalid kobject_put()
dereference and crash the kernel.

Fix it by avoiding __free(device_node) for the endpoint pointer and
releasing it explicitly after obtaining the remote port parent.

This issue was found by a custom static analysis tool.
