[PATCH v1] drm/sysfb: ofdrm: fix PCI device reference leaks

[PATCH v1] drm/sysfb: ofdrm: fix PCI device reference leaks

[Yuho Choi]

display_get_pci_dev_of() gets a referenced PCI device via
pci_get_device(). Drop that reference when pci_enable_device() fails and
release it during the managed teardown path after pci_disable_device().

Without that, ofdrm leaks the pci_dev reference on both the error path
and the normal cleanup path.

Did you use an AI to find or fix this bug?

Re: [PATCH v1] drm/sysfb: ofdrm: fix PCI device reference leaks

Dear Thomas,

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing
kernel code. Specifically, an experimental static analysis tool found
that we are currently
developing. The tool is not public yet, so I prefer not to disclose
further project details
at this stage. AI was used only for cross-review, not as the primary
means of finding or
fixing the bug. I manually reviewed the code and verified the issue
before sending
the patch.

Best regards,
Yuho Choi
