[PATCH] soc: microchip: mpfs: Fix flash leak in mpfs_sys_controller_probe()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 12:18:27 EST
of_get_mtd_device_by_node() returns an MTD device reference that the
caller has to drop with put_mtd_device(). The probe error paths return
without releasing it, and the reference stored in sys_controller->flash
is never dropped when the controller is destroyed either.
Release the flash on the probe error paths and in
mpfs_sys_controller_delete(), so the reference is always put.
Fixes: 742aa6c563d2 ("soc: microchip: mpfs: enable access to the system controller's flash")
