Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: bm: fix device reference leak on failed lookup
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 10:27:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709082713.829446-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
Make sure to drop the reference taken to the buffer manager device when
attempting to look up its driver data before the driver has been bound.
Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away.
Fixes: 965cbbec7f20 ("net: mvneta: remove data pointer usage from device_node structure")
