[PATCH 01/15] dmaengine: at_hdmac: fix device leak on of_dma_xlate()

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Mon Nov 17 2025 - 11:14:32 EST


Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the DMA platform
device during of_dma_xlate() when releasing channel resources.

Note that commit 3832b78b3ec2 ("dmaengine: at_hdmac: add missing
put_device() call in at_dma_xlate()") fixed the leak in a couple of
error paths but the reference is still leaking on successful allocation.

Fixes: bbe89c8e3d59 ("at_hdmac: move to generic DMA binding")
Fixes: 3832b78b3ec2 ("dmaengine: at_hdmac: add missing put_device() call in at_dma_xlate()")
