Subject: [PATCH] phy: ti: j721e-wiz: Fix device_node leak in wiz_get_lane_phy_types()
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 02:14:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211-wiz-v1-1-fdd018d02f33@gmail.com> (raw)

The 'serdes' device_node is obtained using of_get_child_by_name(),
which increments the reference count. However, it is never put,
leading to a memory leak.

Use the __free(device_node) attribute to automatically decrement
the reference count when the 'serdes' variable goes out of scope.

Fixes: 7ae14cf581f2 ("phy: ti: j721e-wiz: Implement DisplayPort mode to the wiz driver")
