[PATCH] pinctrl: nuvoton: fix fwnode_handle leaks in npcm7xx_gpio_of() and npcm8xx_gpio_fw()
From: Selby Mashiki
Date: Sun Oct 25 2026 - 14:47:41 EST
Both npcm7xx_gpio_of() and npcm8xx_gpio_fw() iterate over GPIO bank
child nodes using for_each_gpiochip_node(dev, child), which holds a
reference on child during each iteration. Returning early on any of the
error paths inside the loop leaks the child fwnode_handle reference.
Additionally, both functions call fwnode_property_get_reference_args()
to parse the "gpio-ranges" property into args, which acquires a
reference on args.fwnode that is never released.
Use the __free(fwnode_handle) cleanup attribute for child so early
returns automatically drop the reference, and call
fwnode_handle_put(args.fwnode) after fwnode_property_get_reference_args()
succeeds.
