[PATCH v3 2/3] net: phy: fixed_phy: fix use-after-free when checking link GPIO

From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Thu Jan 02 2020 - 20:03:40 EST


If we fail to locate GPIO for any reason other than deferral or
not-found-GPIO, we try to print device tree node info, however if might
be freed already as we called of_node_put() on it.
