[PATCH net 0/2] fsl/fman: Fix refcount handling of fman-related devices

From: Aleksandr Mishin
Date: Tue Oct 15 2024 - 02:03:52 EST


The series is intended to fix refcount handling for fman-related "struct
device" objects - the devices are not released upon driver removal or in
the error paths during probe. This leads to device reference leaks.

The device pointers are now saved to struct mac_device and properly handled
in the driver's probe and removal functions.

Compile tested only.
