[PATCH] media: i2c: mt9p031: fix endpoint parsing use-after-free
From: Biren Pandya
Date: Sat Jun 13 2026 - 04:50:27 EST
The mt9p031_probe() function calls fwnode_handle_put(np) immediately
after parsing the endpoint. However, it subsequently calls
fwnode_property_read_u32() twice using the same 'np' handle, leading
to a potential use-after-free.
Fix this by moving fwnode_handle_put(np) to the end of the endpoint
property reading block, and adding it to the error path of
v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse().
