[PATCH v1 2/3] ACPI: platform: Use acpi_bus_get_primary_device()
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 07:41:48 EST
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
The acpi_get_first_physical_node() usage in acpi_platform_fill_resource()
and acpi_create_platform_device() is generally unsafe because in theory
the device returned by it may be freed at any time [1].
It is also inefficient because acpi_get_first_physical_node() is called
multiple times for the same argument which can be avoided.
Address these issues by using acpi_bus_get_primary_device() instead of
acpi_get_first_physical_node() and adjusting the code to call it just
once at the beginning of and acpi_create_platform_device() and drop
the device reference acquired by it upon the return from that function.
Fixes: 3b95bd160547 ("ACPI: introduce a function to find the first physical device")
Fixes: a252d881c558 ("ACPI / platform: Pay attention to parent device's resources")
