Scope-based resource management became supported also for another
programming interface by contributions of Jonathan Cameron on 2024-02-17.
See also the commit 59ed5e2d505bf5f9b4af64d0021cd0c96aec1f7c ("device
property: Add cleanup.h based fwnode_handle_put() scope based cleanup.").

* Thus use the attribute “__free(fwnode_handle)”.

* Reduce the scope for the local variable “fwnode”.

The problem here is that the above mentioned API only recently appeared in the
kernel. It will be impossible to backport without backporting a new API, which
is usually contradicts the idea of stable kernels. That's why it's better to
really fix without using a new APIs and then convert to a new one. Hence needs
two patches.

[PATCH v2] extcon: realtek: Prevent resource leak in extcon_rtk_type_c_init()
Posted by Markus Elfring 1 year, 7 months ago 
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

The API documentation for the function “device_get_named_child_node”
contains the following information:
“…
The caller is responsible for calling fwnode_handle_put()
on the returned fwnode pointer.
…”

The mentioned requirement was not fulfilled so that a resource leak
will occur in error cases after a device_get_named_child_node() call
succeeded in this function implementation.

Thus apply scope-based resource management which became supported also
for this programming interface by contributions of Jonathan Cameron
on 2024-02-17.
See also the commit 59ed5e2d505bf5f9b4af64d0021cd0c96aec1f7c ("device
property: Add cleanup.h based fwnode_handle_put() scope based cleanup.").

* Use the attribute “__free(fwnode_handle)” accordingly.

* Reduce the scope for the local variable “fwnode”.

V2:
* The change description was extended.

* The summary phrase was adjusted.

* A “stable tag” was added.


I guess that clarifications can become interesting also for backporting concerns
because of the proposed software transformation.
