[PATCH 1/2] nvmem: layouts: sl28vpd: fix device_node reference leak in error path
From: Leo Cheng
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 09:51:47 EST
sl28vpd_add_cells() takes a reference on the child node via
of_get_child_by_name() for each entry and passes it to
nvmem_add_one_cell() as info.np. On success the created cell entry
adopts that reference and releases it later via of_node_put() when the
entry is torn down; nvmem_add_one_cell() does not take its own
reference. On failure it does not consume the reference either, so the
caller still owns it, but the error path only puts layout_np before
returning, leaking the child node reference.
Put info.np on the error path as well. of_node_put(NULL) is a no-op, so
this is safe even when of_get_child_by_name() returned NULL.
