Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] regulator: scmi: fix of_node refcount leak in scmi_regulator_probe()
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 07:47:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721114738.3689493-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071525-curtly-mothproof-9d7c@gregkh>

From: Wentao Liang <vulab@iscas.ac.cn>

[ Upstream commit fa11039d6cdff84584a3ef8cc1f5e1b56e045da2 ]

scmi_regulator_probe() calls of_find_node_by_name() which takes a
reference on the returned device node. On the error path where
process_scmi_regulator_of_node() fails, the function returns without
calling of_node_put() on the child node, leaking the reference.

Add of_node_put(np) on the error path to properly release the
reference.

[ kept the existing of_node_put(child) since 5.15 still uses the non-scoped for_each_child_of_node() loop, only adding the new of_node_put(np) line ]
