Here is how the function looked _before_ my patch:

int prestera_bridge_port_join(struct net_device *br_dev,
			      struct prestera_port *port)
{
	struct prestera_switchdev *swdev = port->sw->swdev;
	struct prestera_bridge_port *br_port;
	struct prestera_bridge *bridge;
	int err;

	bridge = prestera_bridge_by_dev(swdev, br_dev);
	if (!bridge) {
		bridge = prestera_bridge_create(swdev, br_dev);
		if (IS_ERR(bridge))
			return PTR_ERR(bridge);
	}

	br_port = prestera_bridge_port_add(bridge, port->dev);
	if (IS_ERR(br_port)) {
		err = PTR_ERR(br_port);
		goto err_brport_create;
	}

	if (bridge->vlan_enabled)
		return 0;

	err = prestera_bridge_1d_port_join(br_port);
	if (err)
		goto err_port_join;

	return 0;

err_port_join:
	prestera_bridge_port_put(br_port);
err_brport_create:
	prestera_bridge_put(bridge);
	return err;
}

The double free is due to the fact that prestera_bridge_port_put() calls
prestera_bridge_put() by itself too.

But the code was already buggy, for example the error path of
prestera_bridge_1d_port_join() would trigger this double free as well.
The change itself is ok (but is very poorly explained), if
prestera_bridge_port_add() fails, you want to undo just
prestera_bridge_create(), otherwise, prestera_bridge_port_put() will
undo both prestera_bridge_port_add() and prestera_bridge_create().

So the honest Fixes: tag should be:

Fixes: e1189d9a5fbe ("net: marvell: prestera: Add Switchdev driver implementation")

because you want this change to be backported even to stable kernels
where commit 2f5dc00f7a3e ("net: bridge: switchdev: let drivers inform
which bridge ports are offloaded") is not present.

May I suggest that the root cause of the problem is that you're
returning -EOPNOTSUPP here? The switchdev events may just as well not be
destined for your prestera switch. You should return NOTIFY_DONE ("don't
care") for event types you don't know how to handle.

And technically, this part of the patch should have:
Fixes: 957e2235e526 ("net: make switchdev_bridge_port_{,unoffload} loosely coupled with the bridge")
