Subject: [PATCH] usb: typec: class: drop PD lookup reference
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 15:13:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702191329.2648043-1-shuangpeng.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)

usb_power_delivery_find() wraps class_find_device_by_name(). That helper
returns a device reference that must be released by the caller.

select_usb_power_delivery_store() only needs this reference while calling
the pd_set callback. Drop it once the callback returns. Otherwise the sysfs
write can pin the selected USB Power Delivery object and prevent it from
being released on unregister.

Fixes: a7cff92f0635 ("usb: typec: USB Power Delivery helpers for ports and partners")
