[PATCH] device property: fix fwnode reference leak in fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()
From: Stepan Ionichev
Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 13:15:20 EST
When called with FWNODE_GRAPH_ENDPOINT_NEXT, the function walks every
endpoint under the requested port and, for any endpoint whose ID is
greater than or equal to the requested one, may store a fwnode
reference in best_ep via fwnode_handle_get(). If a later iteration
finds an exact-ID match, the function returns that endpoint directly
without dropping the reference held by best_ep, leaking it.
Drop the saved candidate before returning the exact-match endpoint.
This affects callers that use FWNODE_GRAPH_ENDPOINT_NEXT to ask for
the next endpoint with ID >= the requested one (used by a number of
media drivers, e.g. imx7/8, sun6i CSI, omap3isp, xilinx-csi2,
stm32-csi). Each leak retains a fwnode reference until reboot/unbind.
Fixes: 0fcc2bdc8aff ("device property: Add fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id()")
