[PATCH] thermal/of: Fix reference leak in thermal_of_cm_lookup()
Posted by Felix Gu 2 weeks ago
In thermal_of_cm_lookup(), tr_np is obtained via of_parse_phandle(). But
it never be released.
Use the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute to automatically release
the node and fix the leak.

Fixes: 423de5b5bc5b ("thermal/of: Fix cdev lookup in thermal_of_should_bind()")

This looks good to me.

Good catch thanks! That looks good. This scoped device node
handling approach simplifies a lot the error paths (and is less
error-prone).

Applied as 6.20 material, thanks!
