From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Johan Hovold Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] phy: fix device reference leaks Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2016 12:03:34 +0100 Message-ID: <1477998217-30143-2-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> References: <1477998217-30143-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Johan Hovold To: Florian Fainelli , Mugunthan V N , Yisen Zhuang , Salil Mehta , "David S. Miller" Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1477998217-30143-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org Make sure to drop the reference taken by bus_find_device_by_name() before returning from phy_connect() and phy_attach(). Note that both function still take a reference to the phy device through phy_attach_direct().
