Subject: [PATCH v2] PCI: imx6: Fix device node reference leak in imx_pcie_probe()
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 23:42:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260124-pci_imx6-v2-1-acb8d5187683@gmail.com> (raw)
In imx_pcie_probe, np is obtained by of_parse_phandle() and must be
released when it's no longer needed. However, it doesn't release the
reference, which cuases a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to release the
reference when it goes out of scope.
Fixes: 1df82ec46600 ("PCI: imx: Add workaround for e10728, IMX7d PCIe PLL failure")
Signed-off-by: Felix Gu <ustc.gu@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Use __free(device_node) clean handler to fix the leak.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260124-pci_imx6-v1-1-6f4379fc5160@gmail.com
