[PATCH v1 3/3] ACPI: scan: Use acpi_bus_get_primary_device()
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 07:40:40 EST
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
The acpi_get_first_physical_node() usage in acpi_create_video_bus_device()
is generally unsafe because in theory the device returned by it may be
freed at any time.
Address this issues by using acpi_bus_get_primary_device() instead of
acpi_get_first_physical_node() and dropping the device reference
acquired by it after registering the child.
Fixes: 6ab3532b4c98 ("ACPI: video: Switch over to auxiliary bus type")
