Subject: [PATCH] net: renesas: rswitch: Fix memory leak in rswitch_phy_device_init()
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:35:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330073541.2871414-1-make24@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

rswitch_phy_device_init() calls of_phy_find_device(), which calls
bus_find_device() to increments the refcount of the returned device.
The current implementation does not decrement the refcount after the
reference is no longer needed, causing a memory leak.

Add phy_device_free() to release the reference via put_device() and
balance the refcount.

Found by code review.
