Subject: [PATCH v1] bus: ti-sysc: Fix /chosen node reference leak
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:05:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615200540.770205-1-dbgh9129@gmail.com> (raw)

sysc_init_stdout_path() gets the /chosen node with
of_find_node_by_path() to read stdout-path. The function then overwrites
the local node pointer with the stdout-path lookup result, or exits on
error, without dropping the /chosen reference.

Keep the /chosen node in a separate variable and put it after the
stdout-path value has been used for the lookup. The successful stdout
node lookup remains referenced by the cached stdout_path pointer.

Fixes: 3bb37c8e6e6a ("bus: ti-sysc: Handle stdout-path for debug console")
