A of_node_put() was a bit below in the code, to balance the of_get_child_by_name(). However, despite its name, mtd_get_of_node() does not take a reference on the OF node. It is a simple helper hiding some pointer logic to retrieve the OF node related to an MTD device. People often used it this way: of_node_put(mtd_get_of_node()). The direct effect of such unbalanced reference counting is visible by rmmod'ing any module that would have added MTD partitions: OF: ERROR: Bad of_node_put() on As it seems normal to get a reference on the OF node during the of_property_for_each_string() that follows, add a call to of_node_get() when relevant.
