[PATCH] device property: fix of node refcount leak in fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint()
Posted by Yang Yingliang 3 years, 4 months ago
The 'parent' returned by fwnode_graph_get_port_parent() with refcount
incremented when prev is not null, it needs be put when finish using
it.

Fixes: b5b41ab6b0c1 ("device property: Check fwnode->secondary in fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint()")

Instead of castings, drop the const qualifier in the definition block.

But, the point is that this is a very tricky code and your commit message
lacks of analysis. Can you extend it and show that every case is covered
correctly?

Instead you might consider to replace

	parent = fwnode;

by

	parent = fwnode_handle_get(fwnode);

but please double check that each branch has proper reference counting.
