[PATCH] cache: ax45mp: Fix device node reference leak in ax45mp_cache_init()
From: Felix Gu
Date: Fri Jan 30 2026 - 12:49:30 EST
In ax45mp_cache_init(), of_find_matching_node() returns a device node
with an incremented reference count that must be released with
of_node_put(). The current code fails to call of_node_put() which
causes a reference leak.
Use the __free(device_node) attribute to ensure automatic cleanup when
the variable goes out of scope.
Fixes: d34599bcd2e4 ("cache: Add L2 cache management for Andes AX45MP RISC-V core")
