[PATCH net-next v2 1/4] of: property: skip links without a consumer node
From: James Hilliard
Date: Sun Aug 16 2026 - 20:01:17 EST
Supplier bindings can map a property node to the device node which
consumes the referenced resource. The remote-endpoint binding uses
of_graph_get_port_parent(), which can return NULL for a malformed graph
node without its expected parents.
of_link_property() currently passes that NULL node through to
fwnode_link_add(), which dereferences the consumer while adding the
link.
Only create the link when the binding resolved a consumer node. A
malformed graph property then creates no dependency instead of crashing
while fw_devlink parses the tree.
Fixes: f7514a663016 ("of: property: fw_devlink: Add support for remote-endpoint")
