Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] media: microchip-isc: take a reference on the parsed endpoints
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 19:16:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105001600.927668-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110457-mummy-online-37cb@gregkh>

From: Balakrishnan Sambath <balakrishnan.s@microchip.com>

[ Upstream commit f2eb2fd388bf3f1959556a326e797cacca341c86 ]

for_each_endpoint_of_node() drops the reference on the current node as
it advances. xisc_parse_dt() and isc_parse_dt() store the node in
subdev_entity->epn and release it later with of_node_put(), but never
took their own reference, so the stored pointer refers to an
already-released node. This underflows the refcount and can
use-after-free, reachable through the camera device tree overlay.

Take a reference with of_node_get() when storing the node, and drop it
in microchip_isc_subdev_cleanup() so the entities the bind loop never
reaches on an early exit do not leak it.

Fixes: c9aa973884a1 ("media: atmel: atmel-isc: add microchip-xisc driver")
Fixes: d6701f13bd07 ("media: atmel: Use v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_remote_subdev")
