[PATCH] firmware/sysfb: Fix device reference count leak in sysfb_disable()
Posted by Wentao Liang 1 week, 1 day ago
In sysfb_disable(), parent is obtained via sysfb_parent_dev(si), which
calls screen_info_pci_dev(si) and returns a pointer to &pdev->dev with
an acquired reference count. However, sysfb_disable() does not release
this reference before returning, leading to a device reference leak.

Fix this by checking if parent is not an ERR_PTR and calling
put_device(parent) before releasing the mutex.

Fixes: b49420d6a1ae ("video/aperture: optionally match the device in sysfb_disable()")
