[PATCH] ARM: tegra: fix device leak on tegra ahb lookup

From: Ma Ke

Date: Sun Oct 26 2025 - 21:38:47 EST


tegra_ahb_enable_smmu() utilizes driver_find_device_by_of_node() which
internally calls driver_find_device() to locate the matching device.
driver_find_device() increments the ref count of the found device by
calling get_device(), but tegra_ahb_enable_smmu() fails to call
put_device() to decrement the reference count before returning. This
results in a reference count leak of the device, which may prevent the
device from being properly released and cause a memory leak.

Found by code review.
